Answer 1

Answer:

4x+9/x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$\frac{4x^{2} - 35x - 99}{x^{2} - 5x - 66} = \frac{4x^2 - 44x + 9x - 99}{x^{2} - 11x + 6x - 66} = \frac{4x(x) - 4x(11) + 9(x) - 9(11)}{x(x) - x(11) + 6(x) - 6(11)} = \frac{4x(x - 11) + 9(x - 11)}{x(x - 11) + 6(x - 11)} = \frac{(4x + 9)(x - 11)}{(x + 6)(x - 11)} = \frac{4x + 9}{x + 6}$
