Answer 6

Answer 7

Hint:
\[\frac{a^2+7a-8}{12(a+8)} = \frac{(a+b)(a+8)}{12(a+8)}\]
Does this work? For what value of b? Finally, what does it simplify to?
You may want to try expanding it again and comparing it to the constants on the left.

Answer 8

\[\frac{ a+b }{ 12 }\] is this correct @Indivicivet

Answer 9

That will be the correct form of the answer. Now you need to work out the value of b.
