x+3
---------
x^2+5x+6
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you want to factor the quadratic to get:

x^2 + 5x + 6 is equal to (x + 3) * (x + 2)

your expression becomes:

                    (x + 3) 
             -------------------
               (x + 3) * (x + 2)

the (x + 3) in the numerator and denominator cancel out and you are left with:

                              1 
                      -----------------
                           (x + 2)
