simplify (x^2-4x-5)/(x^2+x)

simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - 4 x - 5}{x ^{2} + x}

\frac{x - 5}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2} - 4 x - 5}{x ^{2} + x}

Factor

x^{2} - 4 x - 5 : (x + 1) (x - 5)

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 5 )}{x ^{2} + x}

Factor

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

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 5 )}{x ( x + 1 )}

Cancel the common factor:

x + 1

= \frac{x - 5}{x}
