Please only answer the question. If you don't know the answer please don't take up the space.

Simplify the top and you get 15-16X. The bottom is all ready as simple as it gets.

In this type of problem we have 15/5=3 and16X-X--5x. So the answer is 3-5X and X may not equal -5.

My point is that we are trying to build a huge database for anyone to find the answers they need. Answers like "I'm not a genius" don't really contain any kind of answer. Just a heads up, not a big deal.

If the question is simplify (2x3 + 7x2 - 16x-5)/(x + 5), then (x + 5)(2x2 - 3x - 1)/(x + 5) = 2x2 - 3x - 1

My bad, I read it as 6+8-5-16x. Since the author didn't show any exponents. Thankyou for the correction.
