You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3/x+3 - 8/x = 4/2(x+3) + 5/4x
-------
Is it (5/4)x ? or 5/(4x) ?
-------
Put the expressions in 3 braces, 3 { and 3 }
Then you get:
3%2Fx%2B3+-+8%2Fx+=+4%2F2%28x%2B3%29+%2B+5%2F4x
The 1st term needs parentheses for its denominator.
3%2F%28x%2B3%29+-+8%2Fx+=+4%2F2%28x%2B3%29+%2B+5%2F4x
