my goodness!!!

"9 plus start fraction x minus 3 over x plus 2 end fraction"

why not just:

9 + (x-3)/(x + 2) ??
= (9x + 18 + x - 3)/2
= (10x + 15)/2

which would be A

of course the bot is wrong again for math questions.

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct that the expression simplifies to (10x + 15)/(x + 2) which matches option A. Thank you for pointing out the error.
