Question

x+6/x^2+5x-6

Answer 1

What are the instructions for this?

Answer 2

i think we simplify

Answer 3

It's simplifying rational expressions but, it's where i'm weak atm

Answer 4

ok lts do this

Answer 5

is this alg1 or and does it have an answer choice

Answer 6

it's algebra 2 and nopes

Answer 7

ok so we first factor by grouping

Answer 8

rewrite 5x as -1(x)+6(x)

x2-1(x)+6(x)-6

then after that group the first two terms and the last two terms

(x2-1(x))+6(x)-6

then we factor x out of x2
xx-1(x)+6(x)-6
then after that we factor x out of -1(x)
xx+x-1+6(x)-6

Answer 9

factor x out of xx + x-1
x(x-1)+6(x)-6
then we factor 6 out of 6(x)-6
x(x-1)+6(x-1)
then we factor x-1 out of x(x-1)+6(x-1)
(x+6)(x-1)

Answer 10

then replace back in to large expression

x+6/(x+6)(x-1)

then finally reduce the expression by cancelling the common factores

cancel x+6 in the numerator and denominator

(x+6)/(x+6)(x-1)

which leaves
(x-1)

then we cancel x+6 in the num and den

then your answer will be

1/x-1
