Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(x-2)/(x-5)
Discussion:
Factor the numerator and denominator:
x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3)(x-2)
x^2-2x-15 = (x+3)(x-5)
So
(
x^2 + x - 6) / x^2-2x-15 = ( (x+3)(x-2) ) / ( (x+3)(x-5) )
Cancelling the (x+3) term in numerator and denominator gives
(x-2)/(x-5)

MrB
If

If

The inclusion/exclusion principle says that

Since

and

are mutually exclusive, their intersection is the empty set. It then follows that

also is the empty set, so the last probability is also 0.
Plug in what we know:

Anthony needs to find the greatest common factor of both 18 and 24. The reason why is because this way he can have the same number of plants in each row while having the greatest number in each row possible. The amount of plants he needs to put in each row is 6.
The answer is <span>A.9/16.
The ratio of areas of two similar squares is the square of the ratios of their similar side lengths. Since </span><span>the ratio of the smaller side length to the larger side length is 3/4, the ratio of areas of two similar squares is:
(3/4)</span>² = 3²/4² = 9/16.
