Question

How do I simplify and state any restrictions on the variable: (x/x^2+5x+6) - (2/x^2+3x+2)? (Please show me the steps)

Answer 1

factor both the denominators for it's LCM.

Answer 2

restriction: x^2 + 5x + 6 can't be zero. you have to solve this to obtain values of x
and same way with x^2 +32 + 2

Answer 3

\[\frac{x}{(x+2) (x+3)}-\frac{2}{(x+1) (x+2)}\]

Answer 4

\[LCM = (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)\]

Answer 5

can u solve it further?

Answer 6

I think no.
