Explain how you got this answer... ^Equation shown below
\[\frac{ 2 }{ x }+\frac{ 2 }{ x-1 }-\frac{ 2 }{ x-2 }\]
This is not an equation unless it's equal to something.
*expression
I still don't understand your question. Explain how got what answer? Is what you're showing the answer? What is the question?
No this is the expression that's supposed to be solved. I don't need the answer just how to solve it
Ok. I think I'm beginning to understand. You need to perform the addition and subtraction shown in the expression you gave. You need to simplify the expression.
You are trying to combine three fractions with addition and subtraction. Any time you add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator.
What is the LCD of x, x -1, and x - 2?
-1 I think?
Each denominator is a factor. x, x - 1, x - 2. None of the denominators can be factored, so the LCD is x(x - 1)(x - 2), the product of all three denominators.
@Jhannybean As far as I can tell, this is not an equation. There is no solving here. You can't just multiply all terms by the LCD. What you need here is a common denominator to combine the fractions together.
