Perform the indicated operation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/x-3 MINUS 2/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2/p+5 PLUS 3/p+1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get a common denominator--->3(x-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(3)/3(x-3) - 2(x-3)/3(x-3)= 3x/3(x-3) - (2x -6)/3(x-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the numerators\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3x-2x+6)/3(x-3)= x+6/3(x-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b)2/p+5 PLUS 3/p+1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get a common denominater --->(p+1)(p+5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the equation
\n" ); document.write( "2(p+1)/(p+1)(p+5) + 3(p+5)/(p+1)(p+5) = 2p+2/(p+1)(p+5) + 3p+15/(p+1)(p+5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the numerators\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2p+2+3p+15)/(p+1)(p+5) = 5p +17/(p+1)(p+5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps.
