hey bot can you please answer the question
Certainly!

To simplify the expression, we can use polynomial division or factorization. Factoring the numerator, we get:

x^2 + 3x - 4 = (x + 4)(x - 1)

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

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

The (x + 4) terms cancel out, leaving us with:

x - 1

Therefore, the answer is C. x - 1, where x does not equal 1.
