OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve \[\frac{ 2x }{ x^2+x }+\frac{ 3 }{ x-2 }-\frac{ 1 }{ x }=0\] step by step please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need to get the denominator of the fractions to be the same. Easiest is to make it (x^2+x)(x-2)(x) by multiplying the numerators by the appropriate factor. 1/a + 1/b becomes (b + a)/ab for example, by multiplying the first term by b/b and the second by a/a, which is ok because a/a=b/b=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would i multiply all the denominators by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I am encouraging you to figure out. Multiply the 1/x term by (x^2+x)(x-2) / (x^2+x)(x-2) , for example.
