Enter your answer as a binomial, like this: x + 7

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)

What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.

But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.

Any other value for x is fine.
