Answer:


\boxed{\bold{(x+5)/(5x-3)}}

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Step One ] Factor
\bold{x^2+4x-5}


\bold{x\left(x-1\right)+5\left(x-1\right)}

[ Step Two ] Rewrite Equation


\bold{(\left(x-1\right)\left(x+5\right))/(5x^2-8x+3)}

[ Step Three ] Factor
\bold{5x^2-8x+3}


\bold{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+5\right)}

[ Step Four ] Rewrite Equation


\bold{(\left(x-1\right)\left(x+5\right))/(\left(5x-3\right)\left(x-1\right))}

[ Step Five ] Cancel Out Common Factor
\bold{x-1}


\bold{(x+5)/(5x-3)}


\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}
