-x^2+9 over (or divided by) x+3 and
8y-5 over 10-16y
any help is greatly appreciated! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -x^2+9 over (or divided by) x+3
-------
= -(x+3)(x-3)/(x+2) = -(x+3)
======================================
and
8y-5 over 10-16y
----
(8y-5)/(-2(8y-5))
-----
= 1/(-2)
================
