The expression becomes
\((3n-3)/(n+4)\). The closest equivalent expression from the options is (A) (n-4)

The given expression is
\((3(n-1))/(n+4)\), and we need to identify the equivalent expression from the provided options.

To do this, we can simplify the given expression by factoring the numerator and examining common factors.

The numerator (3(n-1) can be expanded to (3n-3).

Therefore, the expression becomes
\((3n-3)/(n+4)\).

The closest equivalent expression from the options is (A) (n-4), as both the numerator and denominator differ by a constant factor.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

The probable question may be:

Given the mathematical expressions:

\[ \frac{3(n-1)}{n+4} \]

Select the correct equivalent expression from the options below:

A. \( n-4 \)

B. \( n+4 \)

C. \( n^2-7n+12 \)

D. \( (n-3)(n+4) \)

Assuming that no denominator equals zero, choose the expression that is equivalent to the given expression.
