$\"%283%2F%28x-5%29%2B1%29%2F%281-%284%2F%28x-5%29%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First lets go ahead and add each part;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F%28x-5%29%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we need common denominators to add, so we multiply x-5 to the second fraction ;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F%28x-5%29%2B%28x-5%29%2F%28x-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x-5%29\"$ =numerator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1-%284%2F%28x-5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We need common denominators;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%2F%28x-5%29-4%2F%28x-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-9%29%2F%28x-5%29\"$ = denominator\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now our equation is;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-2%29%2F%28x-5%29%29%2F%28%28x-9%29%2F%28x-5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "When you divide fractions remember, you multiply the reciprocal;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-2%29%2F%28x-5%29%29%2A%28%28x-5%29%2F%28x-9%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now cross cancel;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-2%29%2Fcross%28x-5%29%29%2A%28cross%28x-5%29%2F%28x-9%29%29\"$ = $\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x-9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
