Question

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?ХX-3x2-9X-3X+ 31X+ 3ХOХX+3

Answer 1

To solve the given fraction, we have to multiply the extremes parts and the inner parts between each other.

`(x(x^2-9))/(x^2(x-3))`

Then, we factor the numerator

`(x(x+3)(x-3))/(x^2(x-3))`

At last, we simplify

`(x+3)/(x)`

Hence, the answer is the third option.
