Start with 2x / (x + 4)
Add x + 1/ 2x
Subtract x / x-4 - identify any possible restrictions
Multiply x-4 / x +1
Divide 6/x-1 - why the degree of the resulting denominator did not change from your expression’s degree
FINALLY
Divide
(x / x + 1) + (x / x - 1)

I barely know how to start with this. Especially need help with the degree of the resulting denominator thing. Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks so much in advance (:

texaschic101 · Answer

does it start with (2x/2) + 4 or 2x/(2 + 4) ?

anonymous · Answer

2x/(2 + 4)

anonymous · Answer

Oops!
Wait I mean 2x / x + 4

anonymous · Answer

Well actually for the first one you can create your own but it has to be made up of two of these factors - 
(5x)
(2x)
(x + 4)
(x – 5)
(2x + 1)
(3x + 5)

anonymous · Answer

So I just chose 2x / (x + 4) but it doesnt have to be that
