Thank you so much!!!! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
----------------------------------
The lcd is (x-2)(x+2)
-----------------------------
Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
---
[4(w-2)]/lcd + (w+5)/lcd + [3(w+2)]/lcd
-------------------------------------------------
Combine the numerators over the lcd
=============================================
[4w-8 + w+5 + 3w+6]/lcd
---
Simplify:
[8w+3]/[w^2-4]
=========================
