Answer

Simplify the expression and find non-permissible values: \(\boxed{\frac{2x + 5}{3x + 2}}\), with non-permissible values \(x = -\frac{2}{3}\) and \(x = \frac{5}{2}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Factor the numerator and denominator: \(\frac{(2x - 5)(2x + 5)}{(2x - 5)(3x + 2)}\)

Step 2 :Simplify the expression and find non-permissible values: \(\boxed{\frac{2x + 5}{3x + 2}}\), with non-permissible values \(x = -\frac{2}{3}\) and \(x = \frac{5}{2}\)
