Question

what is the solution to the rational equation 5/x^2+3x+2 + 1/x+2 = 1/3x+3

Answer 1

@safvan .
can you help with thee first step ?

Answer 2

or anyone please.

Answer 3

When you break down \(\large x^{2}+3x+2\) what do you get?

Answer 4

(x+1)(x+2)

Answer 5

good. Now we have to make a common denominator between both fractions. Do you know how to go about doing that?

Answer 6

i think timesing it my (x+1) and the other one by (x+2)

Answer 7

Well, we can alter the second fraction on the LHS of this equation by multiplying it by (x+1) since (x+2) is a comm factor between both fractions, yes?

Answer 8

We can leave the first fraction on the LHS alone for now.
