Solve the equation
-$$\frac { x ^ { 2 } + 13 x + 32 } { x + 5 }$$
A) $x + 8 - \frac { 8 } { x + 5 }$
B) $x + 8 + \frac { 8 } { x + 5 }$
C) $x + 9$
D) $\frac { x + 8 } { x + 5 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation can be simplified by factoring the numerator as $\frac{(x+8)(x+5)}{x+5}$, which simplifies to $x+8$ since the $x+5$ terms cancel out. However, the original expression is not an equation but a rational expression. The correct simplification is $x + 8$, but since the question might be misinterpreted due to the way it's phrased, the closest match to the simplification process is option A, which incorrectly adds a remainder term.

Solve the Equation - x2+13x+32x+5\frac { x ^ { 2 } + 13 x + 32 } { x + 5 }x+5x2+13x+32​

Solve the Equation
- $\frac { x ^ { 2 } + 13 x + 32 } { x + 5 }$
