Answer 1

Here is the problem

Answer 2

Can you make the denominators equal so that you can just combine the numerator??

Answer 3

Sorry, there is no need to do like this..

Answer 4

Choices are:

x+2/(x+5)2, x ≠ −5
x+2/x+5, x ≠ −5
2/5, x ≠ −5

I have already ruled the other choices out

Answer 5

Factor out 2 from the first fraction..

Answer 6

ok
is the 1st answer correct

Answer 7

I can't tell you this..

Just factor out 2 from numerator of first fraction and then cancel what you can cancel there..

Answer 8

\[\frac{2x+10}{(x+5)(x+5)}=\frac{2(x+5)}{(x+5)(x+5)}=\frac{2}{x+5}\] so you can add
\[\frac{2}{x+5}+\frac{x}{x+5}\] by adding up in the numerator

Answer 9

ok
