HELP PLEASE. Simplify the complex fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ x-2 }+\frac{ 1 }{ x } \over \frac{ x }{ x-2 }\]

@marissalovescats do you know this?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yes first you want to simplify the top half so you can combine the two fractions into one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure how I can simplify it further

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I will put a file here in a second

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Once you simplified it and got it down to fraction over fraction you have to remember this rule: |dw:1401946604758:dw|

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The simplified form is (2x-2)/x^2
