Question

Using complete sentences, explain each step in simplifying the ratio x^2-x-20/x^2+8x+16 and provide the simplified form

Answer 1

the symplified form is (x-5) (x+4) / (x+4) (x+4)
(x-5) / (x+4)

Answer 2

First you would simplify each equation. Then you would get rid of the one that are the same on both sides ( (x+4) and (x+4) ) and that will give you the answer.
