Please. Someone Help!! Thanks, in advance! Question Below!

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\[\frac{ x-2 }{ x^2+3x-10 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want this to be simplified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, factor out the bottom to two binomials.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yes. Please with the steps shown and explained!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+3x-10=(x-2)(x+5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-2 cancels out because it was on top and bottom, which leaves you with 1/(x+5)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
