Question

how do i simplify (2)/(x+2) - (3)/(x-2)?

Answer 1

first u have to find the lowest common multiple..do u know what they are?

Answer 2

lcm: (x+2)(x-2)

Answer 3

so, now u have to make each denominator (x+2)(x-2)

Answer 4

2(x-2)/9(x+2)(x-2)- 3(x+2)/(x+2)(x-2)

Answer 5

2x-4/(x+2)(x-2)-3x+6/(x+2)(x-2)

Answer 6

2x-4-3x+6/(x+2)(x-2)
then solve straight across the top but the bottom denominator the same so ur answer is:
-x+2/(x+2)(x-2)*

I HOPE THIS HELPS U OUT:)

Answer 7

oh thank you :)
