anonymous · Answer

what is the original question for this?

anonymous · Answer

honestly I dont have it, my bro likes to mess with my papers and lose em haha but these are my options
A.8/(x+5)(x-5)
B. 3x+20/(x+5)(x-5)
C. 8x+5/(x+5)(x-5)

anonymous · Answer

ok this seems kind of sketchy to be honest haha...so i'm supposed to take some expression that you manipulated, maybe correctly maybe incorrectly, and then tell you if it equals one A, B, and C?

anonymous · Answer

can you calrify if you have 3/(x-5) or (3/x) - 5 in there?  and also if it's 5/(x^2 - 25) or (5/x^2) - 25?

anonymous · Answer

ok, the answer is B

anonymous · Answer

factor that x^2 - 25 into (x-5)(x+5)

anonymous · Answer
