SOLUTION: I am having problems trying to get the answer to the following: (2x3x)/((x^2-9)(x^2+4x+3)) Please advise the steps to solve this Rational Expression to the lowest common di

Question 46414: I am having problems trying to get the answer to the following:
(2x*3x)/((x^2-9)*(x^2+4x+3))
Please advise the steps to solve this Rational Expression to the lowest common dinominator (LCD).
Thank you,
Vic
Answer by saltzy57(8) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x*3x=6x^2 this is the numerator
(X^2-9) can be rewritten as (x+3)*(x-3)
(X^2+4x+3) can be rewritten as (x+3)*(x+1)
put it all together
6x^2/(x+3)*(x-3)*(x+3)*(x+1)
Combine the two (X+3) expressions and you get answer
6x^2/(x+3)^2 * (x-3)*(x+1)
