f-2 f+1 --- + --- f-4 f+2

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

when adding fractions we need to have the same denomanator Our denomators are (f-4) and (f+2) So a common denomator for both is (f-4)(f+2)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

S our first fraction the denomanator is (f-4) so we wld need to multiply it by \(\large {(f+2) \over (f+2) }\)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

did you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

okkk ill just show u what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

sorry to many things going on at once ok now ill show u

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

\( \large { f-2 \over f-4} * {f+2 \over f+2} + {f+1 \over f+2} * {f-4 \over f-4} \) \( \large { (f-2)(f+2) \over (f-4)(f+2)} + {(f+1)(f-4) \over (f-4)(f+2)} \) \( \large {(f-2)(f+2)+(f+1)(f-4) \over (f-4)(f+2)} \) \( \large { (f^2-4) + (f^2-3f-4) \over (f-4)(f+2) } \) \( \large { 2f^2-3f-8 \over (f-4)(f+2) } \) and that is your answer

Sorry that it took long just doing a few things at once
