\[\frac{ x + 3 }{ x + 5 } + \frac{ 6 }{ x^2 + 3x - 10 }\]

@ParthKohli

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, so can you factor \(x^2 + 3x - 10\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. (x-2) (x+5)

Parth (parthkohli):

That's cool! Now the first term is \(\dfrac{x - 3}{x+5}\). You want to get a common denominator with the second term. Try multiplying both the numerator and denominator by \(x - 3\).

Parth (parthkohli):

x - 2**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. wait..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^2 + x }{ x^2 + 3x - 10 }\]

Parth (parthkohli):
