(x2+10x+21)/(x+3) = (x+7)
For a start you tell us what the expression equals....
x = -3.27 or -6.73
It is: x2-10x+21 = 0 and the value of x is 3 or 7 when solved
Factorising, we obtain, x2 + 10x + 21 = (x + 7)(x + 3). Thus, x2 + 10x + 21 / (x + 3) = x + 7. That's usually easier than dividing it out!
