\[\frac{ x }{2x+2 }-\frac{ -2x }{ 4x+4 }+\frac{ 2x-3 }{ x+1 }\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
4x+4
in this term can we take 2 common
OpenStudy (gorv):
??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4(x+1)
OpenStudy (gorv):
yes but just take only 2 out not 4

2(2x+2)
OpenStudy (gorv):
yeah righy
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ x }{ 2x+2 }-\frac{ -2x }{ 2*(2x+2) }+\frac{ 2x-3 }{ x+1}\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
in second term can we cancel 2 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't get when you said we can cancel 2 . from this I must get a LCD to get rid of my fractions right

OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ -2x }{ 2(2x+2)}\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
in this term 2 in denominator will cancel or cut or divide the 2 in numerator agree??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes true I agree which would leave neg x over 2x+2
OpenStudy (gorv):
there 2 continuous negative sign so it will become positive agree??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ x }{ 2x+2 }+\frac{ x }{ 2x+2}=??\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so my lcd is 2x+2 and x+1
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ 2x }{ 2x+2 }+\frac{ 2x-3 }{ x+1 }\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
take 2 common from 2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(x+1)
OpenStudy (gorv):
yeah right now can we cancel 2 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
true I noticed that as before with th e secon term right
OpenStudy (gorv):
yeah
OpenStudy (gorv):
so after canceling 2

\[\frac{ x }{ x+1 }+\frac{ 2x-3 }{ x+1 }\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
hope you can solve it now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wheres the third term ?
OpenStudy (gorv):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you sum it up I learn better by seeing the steps im a bit confused because its spced out
