You have to learn how to write math
x squared is written x^2minus is written -
divided by is written /
(x^2-x-6)/(x^2-4)
So what is the answer you have?
I can't tell you why your answer is right or wrong unless I know what your answer is. It might be in a different form from what I have.
You should factor
(x^2-x-6)
and factor
(x^2-4)
both have a factor of (x+2)
so that leaves.
(x-3)/(x-2)
