Solve:=, (Step 1: Factor the denominator).
=, (Step2: Find LCD and not allowed values of x.)
The LCD is (2x+1)(2x-1)=0, 2x+1=0 => x=-1/2 and 2x-1=0 => x=1/2
=,( Multiply the numerator and
denominator of the first term by (2x-1)).
=( As sum of terms with same denominator).
=, (Using distributive property.Combine like terms.)
.
Done.
