$\frac{18 - i}{25}$ $(18-i)/25$

Multiply by the conjugate
$\frac{- 5 + i}{- 7 + i} \cdot \frac{- 7 - i}{- 7 - i} =$ $(-5+i)/(-7+i)*(-7-i)/(-7-i)=$

$\frac{35 - 2 i - (- 1)}{49 - (- 1)} =$ $(35-2i-(-1))/(49-(-1))=$

$\frac{36 - 2 i}{50} =$ $(36-2i)/50=$

$\frac{18 - i}{25}$ $(18-i)/25$

How do I find the quotient (-5+i)/(-7+i)−5+i−7+i(-5+i)/(-7+i)?
