Show all work in simplifying

Answer 3

\[\frac{2x^2 + 8x - 42}{x^2 + 12x + 35 }\]
factor top and bottom to:
\[\frac{2(x-3)(x+7)}{(x+5)(x+7)}\]
cancel what you can:
\[\frac{2(x-3)\cancel{(x+7)}}{(x+5)\cancel{(x+7)}}\]
\[\frac{2(x-3)}{x+5}\]
from there, you can expand if u want:
\[\frac{2x-6}{x+5}\]

Answer 4

Thank you for showing work
