x^2+x-12/2x^2-3x-9 :?

 

[stapel]

You have posted:

. . . . .x² + x - (12/2x²) - 3x - 9

Is this what you meant?

Also, are the instructions in the subject line? (Subject lines frequently do not actually apply to the contents of the post, and no other instructions were included, is why I ask.)

When you reply, please include all of the steps and reasoning that you have attempted thus far.

Thank you.

Eliz.

[(x+4)(x-3)]/[(2x+3)(x-3)]
