Multiply the left fraction by x-4 over x-4 and the right fraction by x-8 over x-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, this one's a bit more difficult! You need to get the denominator's of each the same. Like he just said!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This will give a common denominator of (x-8)(x-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you can add the tops together which will be x-4 and x-8

I shall now pass over to mr. alright at maths :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Giving you 2x-12 over x^2 - 12x +32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2x-12 }{ x^2-12x+32 }\]
