Algebra question

x^2+x-4 /    1-x
---------      ------
x^2-16      3x^2-11x-4

Hassan O.

Not quiet sure about where that division sign goes. 
I would assume it's in the middle
so correct me if i'm wrong first fraction looks like( x^2+x-4)
                                                                      -------------
                                                                         x^2-16
 
and second is after division sign is    1-x
                                                -------------
                                               3x^2-11x-4

The (x + 4)s are supposed to have lines struck through them, to show them being cancelled, but it did not post that way.
