Answer: -5.5x - 1.167
Step-by-step explanation:
lets focus on the top part of the fraction, remember were allowed to just add the top together because the bases are the same
okay, so the variables we know we can combine are 8x and 3x which equals 11x and -13 and 41 which equals 28
so now our top looks like x^2 +11x + 28, all over x^2- 2x - 24
we can cancel out the X^2, and from then its just a division problem
you end up with -5.5x - 1.167
