[-24 over 32-8x ] +[ 4x+1 over x^2-7x+ 12]
I factored the denominators and got 8(4-x) for the first term and (x-3)(x-4) for t

[-24 over 32-8x ] +[ 4x+1 over x^2-7x+ 12]
I factored the denominators and got 8(4-x) for the first term and (x-3)(x-4) for the second term but I am not sure what to do after that. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! [-24 over 32-8x ] +[ 4x+1 over x^2-7x+ 12]
-------------
(-24)/(-8(x-4)) + (4x+1)/[(x-4)(x-3)]
--------------
Least common denominator:: -8(x-4)(x-3)
---------------
= [-24(x-3) + (4x+1)(-8)]/[-8(x-4)(x-3)
-----------------
= [-24x+72-32x-8]/[-8(x-4)(x-3)]
-------
= [-56x+64]/[-8(x-4)(x-3)]
-------
= [7x-8]/[(x-4)(x-3)]
-----------
