Question

((4/x-1)-(1/(x+1)))/((x/(x-1)+(1/x+1)) can someone please help me simplify this

Answer 1

I assume you mean this:

\[\large\frac{\frac{4}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x+1}}{\frac{x}{x-1}+\frac{1}{x+1}}\]

Answer 2

ineeed sorry. i got it though thanks for offering though

Answer 3

Yes, but you probably didn't do it the way that I would do it.

Answer 4

Show me what you did.

Answer 5

i multiplied the top and bottom by (x-1)(x+1) and simplified. how would you do it?

Answer 6

Not like that...

Answer 7

because there's no need to multiply top and bottom by anything. You can simplify it without doing that.

Answer 8

I guess as long as you know how to do it, that's all that matters.

Answer 9

(3x+5) / x^2+2x-1
