Simplify the rational expression(picture and choices attached)! 15 points and will give Brainliest. Due soon.

The answer should be:

The closest answer is A, so I'll go with that.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the rational expression:

First, remove the division sign. To do so, turn the division into multiplication and flip the second term:

Now, simplify. From the first term, in the numerator, factor out a x. On the second term, factor out a 2x in the numerator and a x in the denominator:

Multiply straight across:

Cancel out the (2x-7):

Cancel out the x:

At this point, we can factor the (4x^2-9) term, but we won't be able to cancel it out. Thus, this is the simplest it can get.

To get the answer, expand the numerator:

Thus, the answer is...

A?

what do you need me to answer?

step-by-step explanation:

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
