Question 421441: I am homeschooled and I have worked on this problem for hours. My mom finally gave me the answer but I don't seem to know how to do the steps correctly to get the answer. If I put my work in here it would take up all the space, so here is the question and the answer. I need the steps.
((x+3)/(x+5)) + ((6) / (x^2 +3x -10)); the answer is ((x^2 + x)/ (x^2 + 3x -10))

((x+3)/(x+5)) + ((6)/(x^2 +3x -10))
=((x+3)/(x+5)) + ((6)/((x+5)(x-2))
=(((x+3)(x-2))+6)/((x+5)(x-2))
=(x^2+x-6+6)/(x^2+3x-10)
=(x^2+x)/(x^2+3x-10)
.
