Assume that all expressions are defined. Which expression is equivalent to x^2+7x+10/x^2-6x divided by x^3-4x/x^2-8x+12

Question

I see you did NOT learn to use the Order of Operations.  Now is your chance.

x^2+7x+10/x^2-6x

You have written: $x^{2} + 7x + \dfrac{10}{x^{2}} - 6x$

Your task is to use parentheses to write what you actually mean.

Do this one, too.

x^3-4x/x^2-8x+12

You have written $x^{3} - \dfrac{4x}{x^{2}} - 8x + 12$

Use parentheses to write what you mean.

Note: This is not a good sign.  On your last problem, you said you had no idea how to factor things.  This is why we went with the Table Method of solution.  Well, for this problem, if you cannot factor things, you CANNOT solve the problem.  It is time to know how to factor.
