document.write( "Question 99447: In this expression I know that the first step is to find the common denominator. And that's where I stopped. Yeah. The expression has complex fractions and involves variables. It is . Where do I start? I believe that I multiply 6(x-2) by 6x however there's already a 6 in both denominators so do I just ignore this and multiply by (x-2)? I'm very confused. Can you help me? \n" );
