You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x squared + 5x + 4 OVER (x + 3)squared DIVIDED BY x + 1 OVER x squared minus 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This is how I see this expression, however, it's not an equation, so we can't solve it, just simplify and do the math:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+5x+%2B+4%29%2F%28%28x+%2B+3%29%5E2%29\"$ / $\"%28x+%2B+1%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Remember when we are dividing fractions; invert the divisor and multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+5x+%2B+4%29%2F%28%28x+%2B+3%29%5E2%29\"$ * $\"%28x%5E2+-+9%29%2F%28x+%2B+1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor everything that we can:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x+%2B+1%29%28x+%2B+4%29%29%2F%28%28x+%2B+3%29%28x+%2B+3%29%29\"$ * $\"%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%28x%2B1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel: (x+1) and (x+3)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x+%2B+4%29%2F%28x+%2B+3%29\"$ * $\"%28x-3%29%2F1\"$ = $\"%28%28x+%2B+4%29%28x-3%29%29%2F%28x+%2B+3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
