if you were looking for it to be simplified or factored, it is already in simplest form, as far as I can tell at least.

Answer 4

no it has to be simplified

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 13

oh.

Answer 14

well that's completely different then.

you have to use brackets otherwise people won't interpret that.

Answer 16

(3x^2-3x-60)/(x^2+9x+20)

Answer 17

sorry

Answer 18

it's okay

Answer 19

factor the top part by taking out a 3
3(x^2-x-20) that simplifies to 3(x-5)(x+4)

Answer 20

for the bottom it simplifies to (x+5)(x+4)

Answer 21

when dividing the top and the bottom you can only cancel out the (x+4) term

Answer 22

so your final answer would be 3(x-5)/(x+5)

Answer 23
