OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Get common denominators

OpenStudy (tester97):

So far i have this \[\frac{ 2 }{ x+3 }-\frac{ 1 }{ x }=\frac{ -6 }{ x(x+3) }\] now what?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Multiply by a creative 1

OpenStudy (tester97):

creative one? D: my teacher doesnt teach me these things

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

I meant multiply by the common denominator. \[\Large \frac{ 2 }{ x+3 }*(x(x+3))-\frac{ 1 }{ x }*(x(x+3))=\frac{ -6 }{ x(x+3) }*(x(x+3))\] Cancels leaving: \[\LARGE 2x-(x+3)=-6\]

OpenStudy (tester97):

when LaTeX doesnt wrap........ >.>

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

D: wut

OpenStudy (tester97):

\[x=-3?\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Apparently so~

OpenStudy (tester97):

Wonderful teacher you are~

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

WAIT, that's wrong >.> Can't be -3.

OpenStudy (tester97):

I already submitted it to be graded Hey sus D:

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Darn it, but you should of stopped me.. the domain is that x can't equal -3.. just noticed ._.

OpenStudy (tester97):

so it would have been \[x \neq 3?\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Idk this problem is a bit weird.. it can be but can't.

OpenStudy (tester97):

Why is math so hard and complicated? D:
