4/z plus 7/z-5
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "least common denominator: z(z-5)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
\n" ); document.write( "(4(z-5))/lcd + (7z)/lcd
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Combine the numerators over the lcd:
\n" ); document.write( "[4z-20+7z)/lcd
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "(11z-20)/[z(z-5)]
\n" ); document.write( "========================
