SOLUTION: I am trying to solve 8/(t-8) + 8/(t+8) and having problems. I've come up with three different answers depending on how I do it. If I find the LCD as (t-8)(t+8) then I would get 8

Question 418445: I am trying to solve 8/(t-8) + 8/(t+8) and having problems. I've come up with three different answers depending on how I do it. If I find the LCD as (t-8)(t+8) then I would get 8t-64+8t+64 which would equal 16t or t=-16. Is this correct? Please help!
