To find:

The equivalent expression to the given expression.

Solution:

The given expression is:


(x^2-4x+3)/(x^2+x-12)

Factorise the numerator and the denominator as follows and cancel out the common factors:


\begin{gathered} (x^2-4x+3)/(x^2+x-12)=((x-1)(x-3))/((x-3)(x+4)) \\ =((x-1))/((x+4)) \end{gathered}

Thus, option C is correct.
