    1 / (x-2) (x+3)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given in the question the expression:

    (x + 1) / (x² + x - 6) : (x² + 5x + 4) / (x+4)

    factorisation of (x² + x - 6) = (x-2) (x+3) by using quadratic equation

    (x + 1) / (x-2) (x+3) : (x² + 5x + 4) / (x+4)

    Taking reciprocal to convert : into *

    (x + 1) / (x-2) (x+3) x (x+4) / (x² + 5x + 4)

    factorisation of (x² + 5x + 4) = (x+1) (x+4) by using quadratic equation

    (x + 1) / (x-2) (x+3) x (x+4) / (x+1) (x+4)

    cancel (x + 1) from both expression

    1 / (x-2) (x+3) x (x+4) / (x+4)

    cancel (x+4)

    1 / (x-2) (x+3) Simplified form
