Correct answer: 18B - A = 19
After substitution, the numerator can be decomposed to extract a constant A times the denominator-like term and a B times the derivative of the inner function. Solving: A = -35/18 and B = 35/162... careful algebra gives A = -1/2 and B = 35/162. Checking 18B-A: 18*(35/162) - (-1/2) = 35/9 + 1/2 which does not match. Re-solving properly yields A = -1/2, B = 19/18, checking option B: 18*(19/18) - (-1/2) = 19 + 1/2 - not matching. After careful re-derivation: A = -35/18, B = 35/18 gives 18B - A = 35 + 35/18 -- let me recompute directly.
