OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

notice that u have \[\large \frac{A}{D}+\frac{B}{D}-\frac{C}{D}=\frac{A+B-C}{D} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. But the middle term cannot be factored so it won't solve for me.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

it doesn't matter. just do A+B-C first. then factor if possible

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

do \[\large (2x^2+8x+20)+(3x^2-15x-44)-(4x^2-7x-15) \] first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I came up with \[x^2-14x-39\] which cannot be factored further.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

i got \[\large x^2-9 \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

which can be factored

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks got it figured out.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u r welcome
