Answer 1

4x+9/x+6

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(4x^(2) - 35x - 99)/(x^(2) - 5x - 66) = (4x^2 - 44x + 9x - 99)/(x^(2) - 11x + 6x - 66) = (4x(x) - 4x(11) + 9(x) - 9(11))/(x(x) - x(11) + 6(x) - 6(11)) = (4x(x - 11) + 9(x - 11))/(x(x - 11) + 6(x - 11)) = ((4x + 9)(x - 11))/((x + 6)(x - 11)) = (4x + 9)/(x + 6)`
