Dividing rational expressions.
please solve and simplify 
n^2-n-6 over/ 14  divided by n-3

anonymous · Answer

Can you use the equation button to give it in a better form? As you've presented it that equation is fairly ambiguous.

anonymous · Answer

@Indivicivet i'm not sure how, i will try now

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{  n ^{2}-n-6}{ 14 } \div n-3$$

anonymous · Answer

@Indivicivet I did :)

anonymous · Answer

And that n - 3 is not supposed to be in brackets?

anonymous · Answer

@Indivicivet this is how it is written in my book. I think you're supposed to make it $$\frac{ n-3 }{ 1 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Well, that would just be putting it in brackets. In that case it would be:
$$\frac{n^2-n-6}{14} \div (n-3) = \frac{(n-3)(n+2)}{14(n-3)} = \frac{n+2}{14}$$
I think it's safe to assume that's how the question is supposed to be interpreted.

@Indivicivet thank you! I see where I was making my mistake now.
