Answer:


(x-3)

Explanation:


(x^2+7x-30)/(x+10)

To divide it, we need to factor the numerator

lets factor
x^2+7x-30

product is
-30 and sum is 7

we need to find out two factors whose product is
-30 and sum is 7


10 \cdot (-3)= -30


10-3=7


x^2+7x-30


(x+10)(x-3)

Replace it in the denominator


(x^2+7x-30)/(x+10)


((x+10)(x-3))/(x+10)

cancel out x+10


(x-3)

This looks like:
(x^2+7x-30)/(x+10)

To solve this problem, you'll want to use the AC method to factor x^2+7x-30.

After factoring your expression will look like this:


((x-3)(x+10))/(x+10)

Cancel out the x+10 because they are common factors, so you are just left with the simple x-3.

Answer is:

x - 3
