Answer:

4

Explanation:

Given


(25x-125)/(x^2-25) ← factor numerator and denominator

25x - 125 = 25(x - 5) ← factor out 25 from each term

x² - 25 = (x - 5)(x + 5) ← difference of squares

The fraction can now be expressed as

=
(25(x-5))/((x-5)(x+5)) ← Cancel common factor (x - 5) on numerator/ denominator

=
(25)/(x+5) → 4
