Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The given expression is :
(x)/(x^(2)-2x-15 ) -(4)/(x^(2) +2x-35)

Factoring the denominators we have:


(x)/((x-5)(x+3)) -(4)/((x+7)(x-5))

Making denominators same and simplifying the fractions we have:


(x^(2)+7x-4x-12 )/((x-5)(x+3)(x+7)) =(x^(2)+3x-12 )/((x+3)(x-5)(x+7))

Option D is the right anser.
