Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2 + 12x + 35}{3x + 15}$

Step 2: Simplify

1. [Fraction] Factor numerator:                                                                          $\displaystyle \frac{(x + 5)(x + 7)}{3x + 15}$
2. [Fraction] Factor denominator:                                                                       $\displaystyle \frac{(x + 5)(x + 7)}{3(x + 5)}$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                             $\displaystyle \frac{x + 7}{3}$
