Well just expand the numerator and denominator of the first fraction (or rational expression). It now looks like|dw:1345651570471:dw| So then (x - 7) cancels out. So your left with|dw:1345651616887:dw| Now you work with the other fraction: You flip the fraction and change the sign to multiplication. |dw:1345651689493:dw| You can cross simplify by canceling out (x - 3) So now its |dw:1345651732982:dw| Oh oops, the actual answer is 5/(x + 7)
