simplify: 2/x+1 - 1/x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to get a common denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would be (x+1)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you combine them to get ((2x-1)-(x+1))/(X^2-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry should be 2x-2 at the beginning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then ur answer is (x-3)/(x^2-1)
