document.write( "Question 218381: We are working on rational expressions. I can not seem to get the jist of building rational expressions to higher terms. Example, I know that if x +3 was mulitiplied by x^2 + 3^2 the result would be x^3 + 27. That's easy enough, but I have problems writing that in correctly factored form. Any hints on how I can get better at this? Example/Question: How would I correctly write 12/x +3 = ?/ x^3 + 27? Thanks for your assistance, tips and suggestions. \n" ); document.write( "
