Question

What is the simplified form of (9x^2-25)/(3x+5)?
choices:
3x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ 5/3

3x – 5, with the restriction x ≠ 5/3

3x – 5, with the restriction x ≠ – 5/3

3x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ –5/3

Answer 1

Here 9x^2 goes into 3x 3x times. (3x * 3x) = 9x^2. 5 goes into 25, 5 times. Take the negative with you. What times 3 = -5??

Answer 2

the third one coz the only cancell with (3x+5)>>3*(-5/3)+5=0

Answer 3

@qpHalcy0n, nothing equals -5 multiplied by 3 .

Answer 4

@moha_10 i didnt think of doing the problem this way , thanks (:

Answer 5

Yes, it does. 3 * (-5/3) = -5.
