Use complete sentences to describe the steps taken to simplify this problem. Make sure you include information about the new common denominator, the final simplified expression, and any restrictions.
3/x + 3/x+1 + 3/x+2

anonymous · Answer

Can you confirm that this is the actual probem$$\frac{3}{x}+\frac{3}{x+1}+\frac{3}{x+2}$$

anonymous · Answer

Wait sorry i typed it wrong it's $$\frac{ 3 }{ x } - \frac{ 3 }{ x+1 } - \frac{ 3 }{ x+2 }$$
sorry :  [

anonymous · Answer

ok, thats good. So now first you multiply the ones in the denominator. So you would get$$x(x+1)(x+2)$$because you need to multiply them all. And then you do the usual subtraction which would ultimately yield this:$$-\frac{3(x^2-2)}{x(x+1)(x+2)}$$The restrictions are that x cannot be 0, -1 or -2.

How do you subtract them?

anonymous · Answer

And how do you multiply them so they have the same denominator?

anonymous · Answer

You just write them in line like that. Much easier to understand what is happening.

Like what? Sorry but i'm really not following.
