Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!

Simplify.

Answer 1

Answer:

(B): (x - 2)/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator is x^2 + 5x - 14. That is equal to (x - 2)(x + 7).

The denominator is x^2 + 8x + 7. That is equal to (x + 1)(x + 7).

You can then eliminate (x+7) to get (x - 2)/(x + 1).

Answer 2

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

 $\dfrac{x^{2}+5x-14}{x^{2}+8x+7}$

$=\dfrac{(x+7)(x-2)}{(x+7)(x+1)}$

$=\dfrac{(x-2)}{(x+1)}$
