Answer: x - 5/x + 1

Explanation:

This algebraic fraction

The task to be performed here is factorisation and simplification. Now going by the question,

x² + 4x - 45/x² + 10x + 9, the factorisation of

x² + 4x - 45 = x² + 9x - 5x - 45

= x(x + 9 ) - 5(x + 9 )

= ( x + 9 )(x - 5 ), don't forget this is the algebraic fraction's Numerator

The second part

x² + 10x + 9 = x² + x + 9x + 9

= x(x + 1) + 9( x + 1 )

= ( x + 9 )( x + 1 ), this is the algebraic denominator.

Now place the second expression which is the denominator under the first expression which is the numerator.

( x + 9 )( x - 5 )/( x + 9 )( x + 1 ).

You can see that, ( x + 9 )/( x + 9 ) divide each other , therefore therr then cancelled and left with

x - 5/x + 1
