Question

Fan & medal.
I need to know the steps to take in order to simplify this. I know the answer, but I'd like to know how to simplify it. I used an online calculator to get the answer.
(x-2)/(x+3) + (10x)/(x^2 -9)

Answer 1

What are we solving?

Answer 2

Did you mean simplify?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

It's this equation. (x-2)/(x+3) + (10x)/(x^2 -9)

Answer 5

expression not equation

Answer 6

but anyways you should notice that x^2-9 is (x-3)(x+3)
so just multiply first fraction by (x-3)/(x-3)
so you can have the same denominator
and write the fractions as one

Answer 7

Okay, so I have (x-2)/(x+2)+(10x)/(x-3)(x-3). Now what?
