eyust707 · Answer

so in order to do this one oyu have to know what all those words mean

eyust707 · Answer

"quantity" means open parentheses.. i usually close them at the end of the sentence or just before the next 'quantity"
"all over" means everything before it is divided by what come after

oh ok

anonymous · Answer

and idk how to simplify it

eyust707 · Answer

You've written two different things...

Is it this?
(2x^2 + 13x + 20) / (x^2 - 5x - 36)

or this?
(2x^2 + 16x + 30) / (5x^2 + 13x + 6)

anonymous · Answer

the first one

eyust707 · Answer

(2x + 5) ( x + 4) / (x+4) (x-9)

eyust707 · Answer

im not exactly sure the method to use...

eyust707 · Answer

i kinda just guessed and checked...

eyust707 · Answer

since it said simply i had an idea that it would factor

eyust707 · Answer

and that two of them would be the same

eyust707 · Answer

from there the (x+4) s cancel and your your left with (2x+5)/(x-9)
