1. Simplify
x^2+4x+3
--------------
2x-1
--------------
x^2+x
------------
2x^2-3x+1
2.
4(x+6) (x+10)
--------- x ----------
(x-2) 24(x+6)
thank you.
1. x2+4x+3=(x+1)(x+3)
2. Cannot be simplified further
3. x2+x=x(x+1)
4. 2x2−3x+1=(2x−1)(x−1)
5. 4(x+6)x−2⋅x+1024(x+6)=x+106(x−2)
Hope this helped!

THX, AnxiousLlama !!!
I think that the first one isn't 4 separate problems.....I think it's supposed to be
(x^2 + 4x + 3) / (2x - 1)
____________________
(x^2 + x) / (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
This can be expressed as
(x^2 + 4x + 3) (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
___________ x ______________ factor where possible
(2x - 1) ( x^2 + x )
(x + 3) ( x + 1) (2x - 1) ( x - 1)
___________ x _____________ "cancelling" we get
2x - 1 x ( x + 1)
(x + 3) ( x - 1) x^2 + 2x - 3
_____________ = ___________
x x
