Simplify (3/x + 2/x+2) / (3/x+2 - 2/x)
\[\frac{ 3 }{ x} + \frac{ 2 }{ x+2 } \div \frac{ 3 }{ x+2 }-\frac{ 2 }{ x }\]
So I've tried to cancel things out, flipping things around, etc but still can't get the right answer
A. \[\frac{ -11 }{ 4 }\] B. -1 C. \[\frac{ 5x+6 }{ x-4 }\] D. \[\frac{ 5x + 2 }{ x+2 }\]
@ganeshie8 you free rn man?
@dan815 hii are you free rn? Don't wanna bother or anything, just wondering if you could help.
Cross multiply and then combine like terms.\[\frac{ 3(x+2)+2x }{ 3x-2(x+2) }\]\[\frac{ 3x+6+2x }{ 3x-2x+4 }\]\[\frac{ 5x+6 }{ x-4}\]
Sorry, +4 in step 2 should be -4.
whoaaa wait that's all you gotta do? flvs made it seem so much harder
wait so what would the answer be
Yep, that's all! It's not as scary as it looks. The answer would be C, then.
ahh ok thank u very much!! have a nice day xx
