- $$\frac { x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 28 } { x ^ { 2 } - 10 x + 24 }$$

• A) \(1 + \frac { 20 } { x - 6 } + \frac { 14 } { x - 4 }\)
• B) \(1 + \frac { 20 } { x - 6 } + \frac { - 14 } { x - 4 }\)
• C) \(\frac { x + 20 } { x - 6 } + \frac { - x - 14 } { x - 4 }\)
• D) \(\frac { 20 } { x - 6 } + \frac { - 14 } { x - 4 }\)
