a.4 open parentheses x plus 4 close parentheses over quantity x minus 3

b.8 open parentheses x plus 2 close parentheses over quantity x minus 3

c.8 open parentheses x plus 4 close parentheses over quantity x minus 7

d.8 open parentheses x plus 4 close parentheses over quantity x minus 6

Answer 1

Translating the worded problem into mathematical form, the following expression was obtained: ( 8x - 56 / x^2 - 49 ) / (x - 6 / x^2 + 11x + 28)

Simplifying:

( 8x - 56 / x^2 - 49 ) ( x^2 + 11x + 28 / x - 6)

Factoring out:

( 8(x-7) / (x+7)(x-7) ) ( (x+7)(x+4) / x - 6 )

Cancelling out (x-7) and (x+7):

8(x+4) / (x-6)

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
