Simplify:
.
%28x+%2B+5%29+%2F%28x2+%2B12x+%2B+35%29
.
The denominator can be factored into %28x%2B7%29%2A%28x%2B5%29.
.
Substituting this into the term results in:
.
%28x%2B5%29%2F%28%28x%2B7%29%2A%28x%2B5%29%29
.
Cancel the like terms in the numerator and denominator:
.
cross%28x%2B5%29%2F%28%28x%2B7%29%2Across%28x%2B5%29%29
.
and the answer to this simplification problem is:
.
1%2F%28x%2B7%29
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.
