cool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply the first term by x-5/x-5 and the second term by x. This will create a common denominator. Then you have: 7(x-5)/(x(x-5)) + 4x/(x(x-5)) Adding like terms, we have: 7x-35 + 4x/(x(x-5)) (11x - 35)/x(x-5) Hope this helps. If it does, please choose good answer. http://www.tutorsean.net for free math videos.
