You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You work this one like anyother fraction you must first find the LCD but to do this you need to factor the denominator\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F%28x%5E2%2B4x%2B3%29%29-%281%2F%28x%5E2-9%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B1%29%29-%281%2F%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29\" now you can see that the LCD is (x+3)(x+1)(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( " Now you can subtract fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%283x-9%29-%28x%2B1%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B1%29%28x-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x-9-x-1%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B1%29%28x-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x-10%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B1%29%28x-3%29%29\" That is the answer since you can not get it any simpler.
