L.c.m of 3x+9 and x+3 is 3x+9.
3x+9=3(x+3)
When u multiply by 3x+9 both sides u will get
\[(3x+9)*\frac{1}{3x+9}-(3x+9)*\frac{2}{x+3}=2*(3x+9)\]
\[\cancel{(3x+9)}*\frac{1}{\cancel{3x+9}}-3\cancel{(x+3)}*\frac{2}{\cancel{x+3}}=2*(3x+9)\]
\[1-6=2*3x+2*9\]
\[1-6=6x+18\]
solve for x.
Does that help? @boobear7411
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Nice explanation @ajprincess
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
i dont get it ?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
what do u get when u factorise 3x+9 @boobear7411
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
-3 ??

Alright so what do i do next ?
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
i'll be right back i have to do something
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
as u can see the denominators of the given fractions are different. if u want to add or subtract fractions with different denominators first u need to find a common denominator. this will be the lcm of the two denominators. in this case the common denominator is the lcm of 3x+9 and x+3. what is the lcm?
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
Icm ?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
least common multiple

ok
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Well to make things simpler we need to get rid of the fractions first
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
ok
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Before doing so note that 3pi+9=3(pi+3)
OpenStudy (boobear7411):
ok

So as ajprincess pointed out we can make the denominators same by just multiplying 2nd term with 3
