Okay from
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 / x+10 + 3x-70 / x+10
\n" ); document.write( "we can add the numerator as they are since the denominators are the same, or what are called \"like\" denominators, so we simply get
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2 + 3x - 70) / (x + 10)
\n" ); document.write( "Now we factor the numerator and get
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 10)(x - 7) / (x + 10)
\n" ); document.write( "oh, what a surprise, the x + 10's cancel, leaving
\n" ); document.write( "the answer: x - 7 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
