Question 158057: Dividing Rational equations
The problem is
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x divided by (x+5)
I tried to work it through, and this is what I got so far.
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x times 1 over x+5
(x-8)(x+5) over 5x times 1 over x+5
x+5 cancels out because there are 2.
so I got
1x-8 over 5x
I am just not sure if this is the answer, or if it can be factored further, or if the x's can cancel out.
Thanks soooo much for your help!
