SOLUTION: Dividing Rational equations
The problem is
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x divided by (x+5)
I tried to work it through, and this is what I got so far.
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x times 1 over

Question 158057: Dividing Rational equations
The problem is
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x divided by (x+5)
I tried to work it through, and this is what I got so far.
x^2-3x-40(over/)5x times 1 over x+5
(x-8)(x+5) over 5x times 1 over x+5
x+5 cancels out because there are 2.
so I got
1x-8 over 5x
I am just not sure if this is the answer, or if it can be factored further, or if the x's can cancel out.
Thanks soooo much for your help! Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
