Question 126165: I need help on this. This is Math 209 the second half.
The problem to be solved is perform the indicated operation
3/x+1+2/x-1

perform the indicated operation
3/(x+1) + 2/(x-1)
least common denominator is (x+1)(x-1)
=3 (x-1)/lcm + 2(x+1)/lcm
= [3x-3+2x+2]/lcm
= [5x-1]/[(x+1)(x-1)]
