Question

x^2-9/x+2 over x-3/x-2

answer is (x-2) (x+3) over x+2
How do u solve? Step by step

Answer 1

x^2-3=(x-3)(x+3)
(x-3)(x+3)/(x+2)*(x-2)/(x-3)
(x-3)(x+3)(x-2)/(x+2)(x-3)
(x-3)cancel
now we have:
(x-2) (x+3) /( x+2)

Answer 2

Sorry I was wrong number 9
x^2-9=(x-3)(x+3)
(x-3)(x+3)/(x+2)*(x-2)/(x-3)
(x-3)(x+3)(x-2)/(x+2)(x-3)
(x-3)cancel
now we have:
(x-2) (x+3) /( x+2)

Answer 3

It all makes sense up until the last part did u just flip the x-2 and the x+2?

Answer 4

yes time and flip
