See the entire solution process below:

First, rewrite the expression as:

$(x^2 + 1x + 18)/(c + 9)$

Next, factor the numerator:

$((c + 9)(c + 2))/(c + 9)$

Now, cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator:

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)((c + 9))))(c + 2))/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(c + 9))) ->$

$c + 2$ : where $c + 9 != 0$ or $c != -9$

How do you divide (c ^ { 2} + 11c + 18) \div ( c + 9)(c ^ { 2} + 11c + 18) \div ( c + 9)?
