Check my work on rational expressions? medal!

OpenStudy (theyankee):

I solved this equation

OpenStudy (theyankee):

And ended up with 3(x-1) 2x-1 But I'm very unsteady with these sorts of things. Check my work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, factor the denominator of the first rational function. From that you'll know the common denominator of both the functions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to solve it now, and I'll check if we got the same thing

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Factored, isn't it (2x-1)(x-3)? Then the x-3s would cancel out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, it should be (2x+1)(x-3)

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Oops! Sorry. that's what I meant; typo. The buttons are right next to each other lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will look like this: |dw:1433537147204:dw| then since they already have the same denominator, it will be like this: |dw:1433537285450:dw|
