@Nnesha

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

can i take 2 at a time instead of all 3?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeah that would be much better

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

like get a common denominator for the first 2, add them, then do the last one

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

so first 2 i just multipled first one by x and other one by x-4

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

\[\frac{ x^2+4x-8 }{ x^2-4x }\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

thats what i got for the first 2 terms once added

Nnesha (nnesha):

perfect

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

then for the last one, what would be the common denominator?

Nnesha (nnesha):

d|dw:1421010598228:dw|both have different denominator so both are ur denominator
