You can put this solution on YOUR website!
what you have done is slightly wrong...good try though :-)
correct version is...
%28x-1%29%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B3%29%29+%2B+%28x%2B4%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B2%29%29
i am not sure what is the aim with this question, so i shall just mess around with it and you take what you need...
i am going to add these 2 together, as fractions:
%28%28x-1%29%28x%2B2%29+%2B+%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29%29
to be honest, that is all i can really do with this...it is now one entity at least.
