Question

What is the solution to 5/(x^2 + 3x + 2) - 1/(x + 2) = 1/(3x + 3) ?

Answer 1

5/2
do you want me to explain

Answer 2

id rather just have the answer. Last time I got all confused.

Answer 3

medal please

Answer 4

rewrite the problem

\[\frac{5}{(x +2)(x +1)} - \frac{1}{(x+2)} = \frac{1}{3(x +1)}\]

Answer 5

multiply every term by (x +2)(x + 1)

then

\[5 - (x +1) = \frac{x+2}{3}\]

multiply both sides by 3

\[15 - 3(x +1) = (x + 2)\]

now solve for x
