Reduce the given rational expression to lowest terms.   

Completely factor the sum of cubes.   = (   +    )(   x2     x +     )

The denominator is five more than twice the numerator. If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by eight, the fraction will equal 10/19. Determine the original fraction. (Do NOT simplify). 

Simplify the following rational expression:   

Consider the following quadratic equation: Part 1:  Factor the quadratic equation into two binomial factors. Remember the quadratic equation must be set equal to zero in order to factor.    Answer:  (  )(     ) =0  Part 2: Solve the quadratic equation by factoring. Write your answer as a reduced fraction, if necessary.  Answer: x= {     ,   }  Hint: One of your answers will be a fraction. Use the “/” symbol to type it in the correct blank.
