please help me check??? 4x^2 - 7x + 3 over x^2 + 5x - 6 answer: 4x + 3 over x - 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how did you get this answer?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's incorrect, which is why I'm curious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the 4x from the problem, figured i had to include it in with the answer, as well as the +3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4x^2 - 7x + 3 factors to (4x-3)(x - 1) x^2 + 5x - 6 factors to (x+6)(x-1)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

cancel what you can to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait x - 1 belongs on the bottom, right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

temporarily, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 4x + 1 over x - 1??
