Question

Find the difference and simplify.
x+1/x-4 (-) x+3/x+2

Answer 1

Establish a common denominator.
Multiply the 1st term by x +2/x + 2 and the 2nd term by x-4/x-4

So we end up with:
(x + 1)(x + 2) - (x+3)(x-4)/
(x - 4)(x + 2)

Which becomes
(x^2 + 3x + 2 - x^2 +x + 12)/
x^2 - 2x -8

And simplifies into:
(2x + 14)/(x^2 - 2x - 8)

Answer 2

A. 2(x^2+2x+7)/(x-4)(x+2)
B. x+1/(x-4)(x+2)
C. 2(2x+7)/(x-4)(x+2)
D. (x+1)(x+3)/(x-4)(x+2)
