@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number 2, 3, and 4 are similar you have to find the least common multiple of the denominators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2-3x=x(x-3)\] and \[3x-9=3(x-9)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to factor each of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have to take each factor that you see and multiply them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so LCM is \(3x(x-3)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{4}{x(x-3)}=\frac{4\times 3}{3x(x-3)}\] and \[\frac{6}{3(x-3)}=\frac{6x}{3x(x-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators just like with numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get \[\frac{6x+12}{3x(x-3)}=\frac{2x+4}{x(x-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the restriction is x can not equal 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo there sorry i mean \[\frac{6}{3(x-3)}=\frac{2}{x-3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes x cannot be 3, and also x cannot be 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with number 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\left( x-1 \right)\] \[x \left( x-1 \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what you do first for the 3rd one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wait number 3 isn't adding or subtract
