Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/336981: Hi, my name is Whitney and I have the answer to my math question, I just can't figure out how to get there. Here's the problem: I understand that I need to find the least common denominator so I multiply (4)/(3-x) by (x-3)/(x-3) and (2x)/(x-3) by (3-x)/(3-x), after that, I am missing something. I end up with 2(5x-6-x^2)/(3-x)(x-3) and I don't see any way to factor it further. I am clearly wrong since the answer is suppose to be 2(x-2)/(x-3).
