\frac{x - 6}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2} - 5 x - 6}{x ^{2} + x}

Factor

x^{2} - 5 x - 6 : (x + 1) (x - 6)

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 6 )}{x ^{2} + x}

Factor

x^{2} + x : x (x + 1)

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 6 )}{x ( x + 1 )}

Cancel the common factor:

x + 1

= \frac{x - 6}{x}

\frac{10 x}{2 x}

\frac{5}{6} + 3
