"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

Answer 6

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)

Answer 7

the first one

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

im not exactly sure the method to use...

Answer 10

i kinda just guessed and checked...

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

and that two of them would be the same

Answer 13

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