@hartnn

hartnn · Answer

the denominator is common!
you can directly combine the numerator :)

hartnn · Answer

$\large \dfrac{☺}{♥}+\dfrac{☻}{♥}=\dfrac{☺+☻}{♥ }$

yacoub1993 · Answer

this is correct right because when we subtract 3 from 5 we get 2 but the denominator has a positive and negative

hartnn · Answer

so the actual question is this ? 
$\large \frac{ 5 }{ x+2 }-\frac{ 3 }{ x-2 }$
or something else ?

yacoub1993 · Answer

no the question is

hartnn · Answer

so that just equals 
$\dfrac{2}{x-2}$
there will be no x+2

yacoub1993 · Answer

here are the choices they gave me and i got wrong

hartnn · Answer

then the question must have a (x+2) in it

yacoub1993 · Answer

if there is a positive the second choice is right

hartnn · Answer

$\dfrac{5}{x+2}-\dfrac{3}{x-2} = \dfrac{2x-16}{(x+2)(x-2)}$
 
$\dfrac{5}{x-2}-\dfrac{3}{x+2} = \dfrac{2x+16}{(x+2)(x-2)}$

yacoub1993 · Answer

from were did u get -16

yacoub1993 · Answer

for this question there is no correct answer i guess

hartnn · Answer

$5(x-2)-3(x+2) = 5x-10 -3x-6 = 2x -16$
the question itself is incorrect(not clear) :P
