Question

help simplifying

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 3x-3 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 + x } - \frac{ 6 }{ x ^{2} + x - 2 }\]

Answer 2

factor out the denominators so that you can see what is the common denominator in order to use PEMDAS...

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 3(x-3) } - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 + x } - \frac{ 6 }{ (x - 1)(x + 2) }\]

Answer 4

okay...so now the common denominator needs to be applied to ALL 3 terms.
3(x-3)(x+2)(x-1)
you following ?

Answer 5

\[(3x - 9)(3x + 6)(3x - 3)\]

Answer 6

is that what you mean?

Answer 7

not quite. The common denonminator is the 3 terms that I gave you...watch
