Question 844303: So I'm trying to learn Fractional Equations, and one part gets me.
I have to multiply the whole equation by (1-x)(1+x) to get rid of the denominators.
The one side of the equation is 4.
How do I multiply (4)(1-x)(1+x)? Do I foil out the two binomials first and then multiply that by the 4, or is it something else?
