Combine as indicated by the signs. Write answer in descending powers of x. (x+6/x^2+8x+15) + (3x/x+5) - (x-3/x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mylhuck the main deal in these question is to make denominator equal .... ! now one denominator is x^2 + 8x + 15 if we factorise then (x +3)(x +5) now in expressions which have like x+3 as denominator ...you multiply and divide them by x+5 and once u get denominator equal you can add numerator easily

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x +6 + 3x(x + 3) - (x - 3)(x+5) --------------------------------------- (x +3)(x +5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

: )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx maybe : )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh im lost again, what did you get as an answer on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 6 + 3x^2 +9x -x^2 - 2x +15 for the numerator when you simplify it 2x^2 + 8x +21 ------------- (x + 3)(x +5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this the answer or something else ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i see now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/x+1/xyz+2/xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here what you can do is try to get xyz in evry denominator you can do it through multiply and divide !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3xy+7x+2/xyz but thats not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3yz 1 2z --- + -- - + ----- x * yz xyz xy*z 3yz + 1 + 2z --------------- xyz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you get the answer now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank uou so much
