17. given equation is   (2-5x)/(x-9) + (4x-5)/(9-x)

      =(2 - 5x)/(x - 9) + (4x - 5)/ -(x - 9)

      =(2 - 5x)/(x - 9) - (4x - 5)/(x - 9)

      Here LCM is (x - 9)

      =(2 - 5x) - (4x - 5))/(x - 9)

      =(2 - 5x - 4x + 5)/(x - 9)

      =(-9x +7 )/ (x - 9)

     The simplified answer is (-9x +7 )/ (x - 9)

     Here c is the correct answer

15 .      (x^2 + 7x)/3x ÷ (49 - x^2)/(3x - 21)

        = (x^2 + 7x)/3x × (3x - 21)/(49 - x^2)

         Rewrite (x^2 + 7x) as x (x + 7), (3x - 21) as 3(x - 7) and (49 - x^2) as (7 - x)(7 + x)

      =x(x +7 ) /3x * 3 (x -7 ) /(7 -x) (7 +x)

      =x(x +7 ) /3x * 3 (x -7 ) /-(x -7 )( x + 7)

above  eqution cancel

     = -1 / 1

     = - 1

 the answer is a
