Solve t^2-t-42/t^2-6t-7

$$\frac { t ^ { 2 } - t - 42 } { t ^ { 2 } - 6 t - 7 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{t+6}{t+1}$$

Short Solution Steps

Factor the expressions that are not already factored.

$$\frac{\left(t-7\right)\left(t+6\right)}{\left(t-7\right)\left(t+1\right)}$$

Cancel out t-7 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{t+6}{t+1}$$

Expand

$$\frac{t+6}{t+1}$$
