Answer

$\dfrac{9x+4}{8x-7}$

Work Step by Step

Cancelling the common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the given expression, $ \dfrac{9x^2+13x+4}{8x^2+x-7} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(9x+4)(x+1)}{(8x-7)(x+1)} \\\\= \dfrac{(9x+4)(\cancel{x+1})}{(8x-7)(\cancel{x+1})} \\\\= \dfrac{9x+4}{8x-7} .\end{array}
