Question 60752: Trying to add this rational expresion not sure my solution is correct?? would appreciate some help thanks!!!!
x+4/(x^2-7x+x)+4x+7/(x^2-6x+5)

reads x+4 over x^2-7x+6 plus 4x over x^2 -6x+5

my solution 5x^2-18x-62/[(x-1)(x-6)((x-5)]

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%5E2-7x%2B6%29%2B%284x%2B7%29%2F%28x%5E2-6x%2B5%29 1st factor the denominators.
%28x%2B4%29%2F%28%28x-1%29%28x-6%29%29%2B%284x%2B7%29%2F%28%28x-1%29%28x-5%29%29
The LCD is (x-1)(x-5)(x-6), whatever you do to the denominator you must also do to the numerator.


%28%28x%5E2-x-20%29%2B%284x%5E2-17x-42%29%29%2F%28%28x-1%29%28x-5%29%28x-6%29%29
%285x%5E2-18x-62%29%2F%28%28x-1%29%28x-5%29%28x-6%29%29
You're right!
Happy Calculating!!!
