Answer 5

They were telling you to factor the x^2 + 4x -32 first.

The factors are (x-4)(x+8)

Then that (x-4) will cancel with the x-4 in the numerator.

That leaves (x-6) in your numerator
and (x+8)(x+2) in your denominator.

Answer 6

@A.Avinash_Goutham had the same answer...they just multiplied the (x+8)(x+2)
