This is the theory of algebra, to simply the expression we proceed as follows;
[sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
simplifying the numerator we get:
sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)
=[x-2+5]/sqrt(x-2)
=(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)
therefore our entire expression will be:
[(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
[(x+3)/(x-2)^(1/2)]*1/(x-2)
applying the law if indices we get
=(x+3)/(x-2)^(3/2)
