Question

How do I simplify (x^2 + 4x - 13/ -2x^2 + 5x - 3) - (3x^2 + 1 - 2x/3 - 5x + 2x^2)?

Answer 1

x^2 + 4x - 13 3x^2 = 1 - 2x
------------- - -------------
-2x^2 + 5x - 3 3 - 5x + 2x^2

Answer 2

Simplest form would be:\[-4 x^2+(13/(2 x^2))+((44 x)/3)-4\]

Answer 3

Wait no sorry it would be:
\[(-6/(x-1))-2\]

Answer 4

so it looks like this:

-6
---- - 2
x - 1

Answer 5

yeah

Answer 6

how did you get that?

Answer 7

you factor both top and bottom of both equations and then cancel out like terms. you want me to show you the step by step?

Answer 8

because the answer is

-2(x + 2)
---------
x- 1

Answer 9

i tried but how do I factor x^2 + 4x -13?

Answer 10

Here i'll show what happens....

Answer 11

where?
