Answer

$\frac{x}{x+2}$; domain excludes $-2$

Work Step by Step

Pull out the GCF of the numerator. Then use trial and error to factor the denominator, and divide. The domain includes all real numbers except for $-2$ because it makes the original expression undefined. $\frac{x^2+2x}{x^2+4x+4}$ $\frac{x(x+2)}{(x+2)^2}$ $\frac{x}{x+2}$
