Answer

Answer is correct. $\frac{x+7}{-5x-1}$

Work Step by Step

Answer is correct because: $\frac{7-34x-5x^{2}}{25x^{2}-1}$= $\frac{7+x-35x-5x^{2}}{25x^{2}-1}$= $\frac{7+x-35x-5x^{2}}{25x^{2}-1}$= $\frac{1(7+x)-5x(7+x)}{(5x)^{2}-1^{2}}$= $\frac{1(7+x)-5x(7+x)}{(5x)^{2}-1^{2}}$= $\frac{(1-5x)(7+x)}{(5x+1)(5x-1)}$= $\frac{(1-5x)(7+x)}{(5x+1)(-1)(1-5x)}$= $\frac{(7+x)}{(5x+1)(-1)}$= $\frac{(x+7)}{-5x-1}$
