Simplify: 2x/x^2+2x-3 + x+1/2x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i assume the -2 is in the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the +2x-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first you factor the denominator of the first fraction x^2+2x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)(x-1) and then the second fraction 2(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you find a common denominator, which in this case is just all of them multiplied together so the denominator will be 2(x+3)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve the rest?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, the numerator is x^2+8x+3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x^2+8x +7 but i could have made a mistake ill check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually i got what you got yup haha sorry bout that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its cool haha, thanks for helping me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
