Perform the indicated operation.
x/x-3 MINUS 2/3
2/p+5 PLUS 3/p+1
Get a common denominator--->3(x-3)
Rewrite the equation
x(3)/3(x-3) - 2(x-3)/3(x-3)= 3x/3(x-3) - (2x -6)/3(x-3)
Subtract the numerators
(3x-2x+6)/3(x-3)= x+6/3(x-3)
b)2/p+5 PLUS 3/p+1
Get a common denominater --->(p+1)(p+5)
Rewrite the equation
2(p+1)/(p+1)(p+5) + 3(p+5)/(p+1)(p+5) = 2p+2/(p+1)(p+5) + 3p+15/(p+1)(p+5)
Add the numerators
(2p+2+3p+15)/(p+1)(p+5) = 5p +17/(p+1)(p+5)
Hope that helps.
