\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29+-+%28x-2%29%2F%2825-x%5E2%29\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29+-+%28x-2%29%2F%28-x%5E2%2B25%29\" Rearrange \"25-x%5E2\" to get \"-x%5E2%2B25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29+-+%28x-2%29%2F%28-%28x%5E2-25%29%29\" Factor \"-x%5E2%2B25\" to get \"-%28x%5E2-25%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29+%2B+%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29\" Reduce\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the denominators are now equal, we can add the fractions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%2B+%28x-2%29%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29\" Combine the fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x-4%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29\" Combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%28x-2%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29+-+%28x-2%29%2F%2825-x%5E2%29\" simplifies to \"%282x-4%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
