5x/(x-1)-x/(x+2)+6/(x^2+x-2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LCD = (x-1)(x+2) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as its denominator:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [5x(x+2)/LCD] -[x(x-1)/LCD] + [6/LCD]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All the denominators are the same so combine the numerators over the LCD:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "= [5x^2+10x-x^2+x+6]/LCD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [4x^2+11x+6]/LCD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [4x^2+8x+3x+6]/LCD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [4x(x+2)+3(x+2)]/LCD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [(x+2)(4x+3)]/[(x-1)(x+2)]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= (4x+3)/(x-1)
