Use long division to find the quotient below.

(X^2 + 17x+72) / (x+8)

A. X-9

B. X+9

C. X+7

D. X-7


\huge{\mathbb{\tt {ANSWER↓}}}


\color{green}{B. x+9}


\huge{\mathbb{\tt { SOLUTION↓}}}


\color{black}{\tt{Factor \: x² + 17x 72 : ( x+8)(x+9)}}


\color{black}{\tt(x + 8)( x + 9)}


\color{black}{\tt{x + 8}}


\color{black}{\tt{cancel \: the \: common \: factor: \: x + 8}}


\color{red}{\tt{ = 8 + 9}}
