Please explain...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its simply, really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6\div r ^{2}-1 -1\div2=1\div r-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lcd=\[(r ^{2}-1)(r+1)(2)?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last term is suppose to be 1/r+1

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

is this your question?:\[\frac{6}{r^2-1}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{r+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

use the fact that:\[r^2-1=(r+1)(r-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay r^2-1 = (r+1)(r-1) make all the denominators match

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

and then multiply both sides by (r+1). that should simplify the expression.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

I need to leave now - but hopefully there are plenty of people here that can assist you...
