SOLUTION: Um... not exactly sure what topic this is in, but... {{{ (3x) / (2x+6) + (3 - 2x) / 2(x+3) }}} They factor out to be common: {{{ (3x) / 2(x+3) + (3 - 2x) / 2(x+3) }}} S

Question 576382: Um... not exactly sure what topic this is in, but...
+%283x%29+%2F+%282x%2B6%29+%2B+%283+-+2x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+
They factor out to be common:
+%283x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+%2B+%283+-+2x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+
So you just have to combine the numerator.
+%28x+-+1%29+%2F+%282x+%2B+6%29+
But the answer is supposed to be 1/2, so I'm a little confused!!
Thanks!!

+%283x%29+%2F+%282x%2B6%29+%2B+%283+-+2x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+
They factor out to be common:
+%283x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+%2B+%283+-+2x%29+%2F+2%28x%2B3%29+
So you just have to combine the numerator.
+%28x+-+1%29+%2F+%282x+%2B+6%29+ ****** 3x + (3-2x) = x + 3 ***********
--> %28x%2B3%29%2F%282%28x%2B3%29%29+=+1%2F2
But the answer is supposed to be 1/2, so I'm a little confused!!
