Question 425764: %285x%5E2-45%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B6x%2B9%29 I already know the answer as %285x-15%29%2F%28x%2B3%29.
However, I would enjoy knowing how to do it. XD I don't quite recall the process, and can't figure out where I have to divide, and what. I would appreciate it if you would start from the beginning and explain how to work the problem. I greatly appreciate it, and look forward to your reply.
