Simplify x/(x^2 + 5x + 6)

x - 6
x + 6
1/x + 6
x/(x + 6)

The correct answer is: x/(x + 6)

The other options are incorrect because they do not account for the entire expression in the denominator. Option A and B only simplify the numerator and leave the denominator untouched. Option C confusingly adds a reciprocal to the simplified expression. The correct answer, D, accounts for the entire expression in the denominator and simply simplifies the numerator by canceling out one of the x terms. This gives us the final simplified expression of x/(x + 6).
