Answer:

Final answer is
(5)/((x+1)).

Explanation:

Given expression is
(5\left(x-1\right))/((x+1)(x-1)) where x doesn’t equal 1 or -1. Now we need to find about which of the given choices is equal to the given rational expression. Choices are missing but we can still solve this problem.


(5\left(x-1\right))/((x+1)(x-1))

cancel out common factors from top and bottom.


=(5)/((x+1))

Hence final answer is
(5)/((x+1)).
