@phi, @satellite73?

OpenStudy (phi):

The first step is factor the quadratics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did. (a+2)(a+5)/(a+5)(a-3) + 10/(a-3)

OpenStudy (phi):

? what did you get for factors of the top of the first fraction a^2 + a -2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh... sorry that was the wrong question. xD sorry... One sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a+2)(a-1)/(a-7)(a-1) - (a-7)(a+2)/(a+2)(a-1) There...

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, that looks good. I would simplify both fractions by canceling common factors in the top and bottom
