ops I meant"+"

Answer 4

\[15x+\frac{15}{x^2-1}\] ?

Answer 5

and your job is to add right?

Answer 6

I have to simplify the question I believe the answer is 15 over x-1

Answer 7

not if it is what i wrote above

Answer 8

\[a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}\]

Answer 9

ditto on what @satellite73 said. Are you comfortable with using the equation editor? Or can you rewrite it the way you intended really quickly?

Answer 10

you would need
\[\frac{15x(x^2-1)+15}{x^2-1}\] as a first step. do no look to cancel, but rather multiply out in the numerator and combine like terms

Answer 11

(15)/(x+1)?.. being just to =15

Answer 12

What @satellite73 wrote above is correct if in fact it we are adding.

Answer 13

Was the problem written correctly? You can take a picture of the problem from the book and attach an image if needed, otherwise I second satellite.

I'd try to play around with the equation editor on the bottom left of this message box. It'll help with displaying work cleanly.
