\[\frac{x+2}{x+4}-\frac{x-1}{x+6}\] \[\frac{(x+2)(x+6)-(x-1)(x+4)}{(x+4)(x+6)}\] is a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then a bunch of algebra to clean up the numerator can you do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh no .. dude im illiterate when it comes to math haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well lets do it, but forget about the denominator, leave it as it is concentrate on \[(x+2)(x+6)-(x-1)(x+4)\] multiply this mess out and get \[x^2+6x+2x+12-[x^2+4x-x-4]\] \[x^2+8x+12-[x^2+3x-4]\] \[x^2+8x+12-x^2-3x+4\] \[5x+16\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bunch of applications of the distributive law, and then combining like terms. final answer \[\frac{5x+16}{(x+4)(x+6)}\] you might want to check my algebra, it comes with no guarantees
