If what I just did seems completely foreign to you, I encourage you to watch the videos on factoring polynomials or factoring quadratics. And so you can see here, all right, look, if I make the, I can simplify this because as long as x does not equal negative one, these two things are going to cancel out. So I can say that this is going to be equal to x minus two over x minus three for x does not equal negative one. Sometimes people forget to do this part. This is if you're really being mathematically precise. This entire expression is the same as this one because this entire expression is still not defined at x equals negative one, although you can substitute x equals negative one here and now get a value. So if you substitute x equals negative one here, even if it's formally, if we're formally taking it away to be mathematically equivalent, this would be negative one minus two, which would be negative three, over negative one minus three, which would be negative four, which is equal to 3 4ths.
