cwrw238 · Answer

the numerator will be 

2x(x+3) - (x+5)(x-2)

simplify this

cwrw238 · Answer

- and place it over (x-2)(x+3)

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 2x }{ (x-2) } x (x+3) - \frac{ (x+5) }{(x+3) } (x + 2) $$

so i think that i would have 2x - x+5 / x+3   (x +2)

anonymous · Answer

what do you think @cwrw238 ?

anonymous · Answer

wait thats wrong i would have:

2x^2 + 6x - (x^2 - 2x +5x - 10) on the top and that should equal:

2x^2 + 6x - x^2 + 3x - 10

x^2 + 6x + 3x - 10

but after that i still dont have an answer

cwrw238 · Answer

your second line is incorrect
you have to distribute -1 over the parentheses
so it should be
2x^2 + 6x - x^2 -3x + 10

$\bf \cancel{(x-2)}(x+3)\left(\cfrac{2x}{\cancel{x-2}}\right)-(x-2)\cancel{(x+3)}\left(\cfrac{x+5}{\cancel{x+3}}\right)$
