SOLUTION: how do I solve this rational expression with unlike deniomators, for example,
6/(x-3) + 8/(3-x), I know I must use a -1 and multiply, but I am getting a different anwser than my b

Write the second denominator in descending order:
Factor -1 out of the second denominator:
The -1 on the bottom of the second fraction makes
the term negative so we just us a minus sign:
Now the two fractions have the same denominator:
