I am stuck on a rational division problem: x is squared minus 1 0ver 1 divided by x-1 over x + 5 =

I hope you can help,

It has been five, stupied, hours now!

is this your problem

(x^2 - 1)/1 divided by (x - 1)/(x + 5)?

if so, (x^2 - 1)/1 = x^2 - 1

to divide, invert the denominator and multiply, so,

(x^2 - 1) * (x + 5)/(x - 1)

does this help?
