What is the simplified form of 4x plus 2 over x plus 5 minus the fraction 3x plus 1 over x plus 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(4x+2)/(x+5) -(3x+1)/(x+5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x+3/x+5 as the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf\cfrac{4x+2}{x+5}-\cfrac{3x+1}{x+5}\implies \cfrac{4x+2-3x-1}{x+5}\implies \cfrac{x+1}{x+5}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

-(3x+1) => -1 * (3x + 1) => -3x -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks!!! :)
