How do find the LCM (least common denominator) for the following fractional equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (08surya):

take LCM of numerators and HCF of denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@08surya I need to make everything in the denominator the same. This equation is a part of a bigger one. Please explain further

OpenStudy (08surya):

take commons from denominator. u will get x+1 and x-1 common term and solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try.

OpenStudy (08surya):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the denominators I got: 2x, x(x-1), 2(x+1), x^2-1 is that the furthest I can simplify?

OpenStudy (08surya):

x^2-1=(x+1)(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok. Thanks

OpenStudy (08surya):

take common 2x(x-1)(x+1)

OpenStudy (08surya):

your welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I don't do anything to the numerator right?

OpenStudy (08surya):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you again!

OpenStudy (08surya):

my pleasure
