Which expression is equivalent to (x+1)^2-9/x+4

(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is

Now we factor the given expression

LEts factor the numerator

(x+1)^2 -9

9 can be written as 3^2

(x+1)^2 - 3^2

Now we apply a^2 - b^2 formula

a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

(x+1)^2 - 3^2 = (x+1+3)(x+1-3)=(x+4)(x-2)

now we replace it in our problem

Cancel out x+4 from top and bottom

So answer is (x-2)

i think the answer is b.

not 100% sure though.
