lim x-> 1 (x^2+2x-3)/(2x^2-5x+3) can someone tel lme how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^2+2x-3}{2x^2-5x+3} \] when you apply the limit i.e., replace "x" with "1", you get "division by zero" . So, there must be a (x-a) factor in the denominator. So,first factor out the numerator and the denominator.
