  • Graphical form: \"%28-2%29%2F%28x-5%29=%281%29%2F%28x%2B2%29\" simplifies to \"-2%2F%28x-5%29-1%2F%28x%2B2%29=0\"
  • Text form: (-2)/(x-5)=(1)/(x+2) simplifies to -2/(x-5)-1/(x+2)=0
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+%28-2%29%2F%28x-5%29=%281%29%2F%28x%2B2%29+%29\"
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( (-2)/(x-5)=(1)/(x+2) )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2F%28x-5%29+%29=%281%29%2F%28x%2B2%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+2+%29\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+2+%29%2F%28x-5%29=%281%29%2F%28x%2B2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2F%28x-5%29=highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2F%28x%2B2%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"-2%2F%28x-5%29=highlight_green%28+1+%29%2F%28x%2B2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2F%28x-5%29=highlight_red%28+1%2F%28x%2B2%29+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-1%2F%28x%2B2%29+%29\"
It becomes \"-2%2F%28x-5%29-highlight_green%28+1%2F%28x%2B2%29+%29=0\".
Result: \"-2%2F%28x-5%29-1%2F%28x%2B2%29=0\"
