Question

What is the sum?

Answer 1

can you factor x^2+5x +6 ?

Answer 2

Yeah? (x+3)(x+2) right?

Answer 3

yup :)

Answer 4

How about the top? Is it -2(x-3)

Answer 5

so we want to make all the denominators as (x+3)(x+2) and as common
1/(x+2) already has (x+2)
so, multiply and divide by x+3 there...

Answer 6

-2 (x-3) as final answer ?

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

you got -2x +6 ?
i got 2x+6 in the numerator...

Answer 9

(x+3) + (x+2) + 1 = 2x +6 = 2 (x+3)

Answer 10

So am i right?

Answer 11

no....you got -2 (x-3)
instead of 2(x-3)

Answer 12

you got how it is 2(x+3)
?
