can you rewrite the fraction more properly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n-3 ------ n^2+6n+8 ------ n+1 ------ n+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the answer just need to know how to get it

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[\frac{ n-3 }{ (n+4)(n+1) }\]

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[\frac{ n-3 }{ n^2+6n+8 }\frac{ n+2 }{ n+1 } = \frac{ n-3 }{ (n+2)(n+3) }\frac{ n+2 }{ n+1 }=\frac{ n-3 }{(n+4)(n+1) }\]
