They have a common denominator, that's nice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try factoring the top one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright hold up a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t(1t+6) or somethin like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you should subtract the fractions to get: \[ \frac{t^2+6t-7}{t-1} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then factor \[ t^2+6t-7 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t(-1+-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite, but close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea thats what i meant to say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((t-1)(t+7)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thts the simplified answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{(t-1)(t+7)}{t-1} \]We have to divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would the t-1 cancel each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is (t+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
