1/3+x - 1/3-x Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Simplify
3/3+x + 1/x-3
______________
1/3+x - 1/3-x
----------------
= [3/(x+3) - 1/(x-3)]/ [1/(x+3) + 1/(x-3)]
Multiply the 4 terms by (x+3)*(x-3)
= [3(x-3) - (x+3)] / [(x-3) + (x+3)]
= (3x-9 - x - 3) / 2x
= (2x-12)/2x
= (x-6)/x
