Time for you to do my homework that is.

Simplify:
(5x² + 14x - 3) / (x² - 9)

You know you can do it, I know you can do it, so how about we cut out the 'google it noob' stuff and somebody just helps me out, please.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah, I'm thick, I can't do simple maths

Well there has been times where I've thought 'I have 6 sweets in my left hand and 9 in my right, how many would I have if I ate 3 and shared the rest between my 4 friends'

It's at times like that, when I've thanked my lucky stars that I revised for my Maths GCSE.

Exams get you where you want to go.
For top/competitive careers you need high grades. It's not about being able to do stuff that's useful, it's to show you can understand and solve difficult concepts.

A lot of people might not ever need to know mathematical concepts, but if no-one was given the chance to learn those things and find out if they were interested in them or not, we wouldn't have any "brainiacs" and you wouldn't be sitting at your computer typing on this forum.

There's a difference between enjoying them and needing them.

My mate does, but he's an analytical research chemist so you expect them to need that stuff. Even he doesn't simplify equations.

I used to love doing equations and Maths at school.

The amusing thing is that you'll never use 90% of the stuff you worry about revising.
Simplify an equation? Why? What's the point? Unless you decide to become a brainiac and work for a shadowy government agency, this is stuff you'll never apply in life.

Guess what? I've never needed to know how fast a train was going by working out the distance and time involved.
I've never ever had to work out the area of a triangle. I've not once, ever, at all, even slightly needed to know the mass of an object by the amount of water displaced.

Exams = 90% forgettable crap.
Hell, put you got all A's on your CV, nobody bothers to ask you for the certificates.
