Add the following equation is posted below.

\[\frac{ 3x-2 }{ x+ 1 } + \frac{ x^2 + x - 2 }{ x^ - 1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so first find a common denominator , do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ (x-1)(3x-2)+(x+1)(x ^{2}+x-2) }{ (x+1)(x-1) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+x-2=x^2+2x-x-2=x \left( x+2 \right)-1\left( x+2 \right)=\left( x+2 \right)\left( x-1 \right)\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ (x-1)(3x-2)+(x+2)(x-1)(x+1) }{ (x-1)(x+1) }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ (x-1)(3x-2+(x+2)(x+1)) }{ (x-1)(x+1) }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ (x-1)(x ^{2}+6x) }{ (x-1)(x+1) }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ x(x-1)(x+6) }{ (x-1)(x+1) }\]

OpenStudy (lynfran):

do u see the the (x-1) can be cancel out?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

so what do we have left??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[\frac{ x(x+6) }{ (x+1) }\]
