You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the lowest common denominator of:
3/10x+10 and x/5x^2-5?
-----
Factor each denominator:
[3/(10(x+1)] and [x/(5(x-1)(x+1))]
------
lcm = 10(x-1)(x+1)
=======================
Rewrite each fraction with the lcm as its denominator:
(3(x-1))/lcm and (2x)/lcm
===========================
