You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 + 2x -15/x^2 - 9/x^2 + 6x + 5/x^2 + 4x + 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I have no idea how you got (x+1)(x+3) FOILing that: x^2 + 4x + 3, are you just ignoring 2x, 6x and the fractional terms, it's not even an equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Group like terms and add:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 15/x^2 - 9/x^2 + 5/x^2 + 2x + 6x + 4x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 19/x^2 + 12x + 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Put over it all over one denominator, arrange in descending order:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E4+-+19+%2B+12x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2%29%2Fx%5E2\" = \"%28x%5E4+%2B+12x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2+-+19%29%2Fx%5E2\"\r
