Question 87001: This isnt a quadratic formula problem, I dont know what type of problem it is, I just really need help in it. The problem is: Simplify d^2-2d-3
d^2-10d+24
d+1
d-4
They are like that because the problem is in fraction form

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
IF THIS IS THE FRACTION?
(D^2-2D-3)/(D^2-10D+24)
(D-3)(D+1)/(D-4)(D-6)
YOUR ANSWER IS (D+1)/(D-4).
QUESTION -- HOW DID YOU GET RID OF THE OTHER 2 TERMS (D-3)/(D-6)??????????
