How would you simplify this?

[(3x+5)²-6(x+7)(3x+5)]/(3x+5)^4

Hi taylor_2009;

You can divide the numerator and the denomiator by (3x+5)


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
