Solving Radical Functions??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2 }{ x+2 }+\frac{ 1 }{ x-2 }=\frac{ 13 }{ 21 }\]

OpenStudy (triciaal):

radical functions? one approach first find the Lowest Common Multiple and multiple every term simplify solve the resulting quadratic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't figure out the LCM though..

OpenStudy (triciaal):

don't let the expression throw you off what if you had |dw:1421044014065:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it would be 40?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

use the same principle with the expression and 21 (you may want to expand the parenthesis after writing it out easier to simplify)
