looks good so far. For each fraction, cross out the term that is both in the numerator and the denominator. then get a common denominator to combine

So it would be (d+8)(d-4)+(d+2)(d+2) / (d+8)(d+2) ...is that right? if so, how do I simplify the top?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply each pair and then add. I don't see anything that will simplify after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d^2+8d-28? I'm pretty bad at simplifying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2d^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer was correct but the first term is 2d^2 not d^2 each term has a d^2

Oh, I see! Cheers Sir!
