Factor all the fractions on the right:
Cancel the (x-3)'s
Cancel the x's
Cancel the (x+2)'s
The LCD is (x+5)(x-4), so multiply the fraction on the left
by , which just equals 1. Also, multiply
the fraction on the right by , which also
just equals 1:
Indicate the multiplication of numerators and of denominators
in both terms:
Use "FOIL" to multiply the numerators ONLY, but leave the
denominators factored:
The denominators are the same, so we subtract the numerators
and place them over the common denominator:
Remove the parentheses, being careful to change the
signs in the second parenthetical expression since
it is preceded by a - sign:
Combine like terms:
We take common factor -3 out of the numerator:
