\n" );
document.write( " Now i have the problem. The answer key has the answer as (x-7)(x-4)/(X-6)(X-9)
\n" );
document.write( "Since I already inverted the divisor earlier, how does the answer key show (x-6) as a denominator when its a numerator and Where's (x-5)? Im sorry for the long explanation. Help me please! \n" );
