Question 572396: simplify (solve if possible).
(x-2) (x)
-------- + --------
(x^2+x-12) (x^2-2x-3)
the x-2 is over the x^2+x-12
the symbol is a "+" for addition
the x is over the x^2-2x-3
thank you!

(x-2)/(x^2+x-12)+x/(x^2-2x-3)==
I would factor denominators first and see what I can use for a common denominator.
= =
Then I would work on the numerator parts leaving the denominators alone (and hoping to be able to simplify the result).
= =
We can factor the numerator
=
Nothing cancels out, so I'll call it fully simplified.
