Question

What is the simplified form of the quantity of x plus 8, all over the quantity of x plus 2 + the quantity of x minus 3, all over 4?

the quantity of x squared plus 5x minus 24, all over 4 times the quantity of x plus 2
the quantity of x squared plus 3x plus 26, all over 4 times the quantity of x plus 2
the quantity of x squared plus 3x plus 26, all over x plus 6
the quantity of x squared plus 5x minus 24, all over 4 times the quantity of x plus 6

I think the answer is either A or D. Can someone help me determine which one?

Answer 1

@bibby i was gonna tag you but i figured youd see this anyways lol

Answer 2

lol, so we want to get them into a common denominator again
\(\dfrac{x+8}{x+2}+\dfrac{x-3}{4}=\dfrac{(x+8)(4)}{(x+2)(4)}+\dfrac{(x-3)(x+2)}{(4)(x+2)}\)

Answer 3

\(\dfrac{4x+32+x^2-x-6}{4x+8}=\dfrac{x^2+3x+26}{4x+8}\)

Answer 4

think I messed up somewhere

Answer 5

uh oh. Its okay.

Answer 6
