Question 464880: Sorry if I have the topic wrong! What is it called when there is something like this:
x squared-9 over x+2 then all that over x-3 over x-2 I've looked at polynomial long division, but can't find where there are 2 equations over 2 other equations.
thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x squared-9 over x+2 then all that over x-3 over x-2
------------
[(x^2-9)/(x+2)]/[(x-3)/(x-2)]
-----
= [(x^2-9)/(x+2)]
-----
= [(x+3)(x-2)]/(x+2)
