You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 - 5x - 14 / x^2 + 2x - 3
DIVIDED BY
x^2 - 3x - 28 / x^2 + 3x - 4
------------------------
Factor where you can to get:
[(x-7)(x+2)/(x+3)(x-1)]
DIVIDED BY
[(x-7)(x+4)/(x+4)(x-1)]
--------------------------
Cancel factors where you can to get:
[(x+2)/(x+3)]
DIVIDED BY
[1]
------------
(x+2)/(x+3)
