Answer:

14x + x^2

------------------

9x^2

Explanation:

2x /x^2 + (x-4)/ 9x

Cancel the common factor of x in the first term

2 /x + (x-4)/ 9x

We need a common denominator of 9x

2 /x *9/9 + (x-4)/ 9x

18/9x + (x-4)/9x

Add the numerators

18+x-4

--------------

9x

14+x

----------

9x

Multiply the top and bottom by x to get it to match one of the answers

14x + x^2

------------------

9x^2
