You should write the factored form of denominator, hence,
you need to find the zeroes of denominator such
that:
`x^2-10x-11 = 0`
You
need to use quadratic formula such that:
`x_(1,2) =
(10+-sqrt(100 + 4*11))/2`
`x_(1,2) =
(10+-sqrt144)/2`
`x_(1,2) =
(10+-12)/2`
`x_1 = 11 ; x_2 =
-1`
You may write the factored form of denominator such
that:
`x^2-10x-11 =
(x-11)(x+1)`
You need to factor out `2x` to numerator such
that:
`2x^2-22x =
2x(x-11)`
You need to substitute `2x(x-11)` for
`2x^2-22x` and `(x-11)(x+1)` for x^2-10x-11 such
that:
`(2x^2-22x)/(x^2-10x-11) =
(2x(x-11))/((x-11)(x+1))`
Reducing by factor `x-11`
yields:
`(2x^2-22x)/(x^2-10x-11) =
2x/(x+1)`
Hence, simplifying the fraction to
its lowest terms yields `(2x^2-22x)/(x^2-10x-11) = 2x/(x+1).`
