Question

x (x -7 ) / x ^2 +5x- 24 -5x-27/x^2 +5x -24

Answer 1

What are you trying to do with this expression?

Answer 2

simplification

Answer 3

\[\Large \frac{x(x-7)}{x^2 + 5x - 24} - \frac{5x - 27} {x^2+5x - 24}\]
common denominators so just subtract the numerators then copy the denominator
\[\Large \implies \frac{x(x-7) - (5x-27)}{x^2 + 5x - 24}\]
does that help? or do you need more help?

Answer 4

ya more help plz

Answer 5

okay...expand the numerator
\[\Large \implies \frac{x^2 - 7x - 5x + 27}{x^2 + 5x - 24}\]
now combine like terms
\[\Large \implies \frac{x^2 - 12x + 27}{x^2 + 5x - 24}\]
now factor out the numerator and denominator
\[\Large \implies \frac{(x-9)(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+8)}\]
do you see the next step?

Answer 6

(x-9 )/(x+8)

Answer 7

right!
