Question 650688: I'm a little confused on a question. It states to, "add and subtracted as indicated"
The problem goes;
++%28x%2B5%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%5E8%2B12%29+%2B+%285x-1%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B9x%2B14%29++
I've tried a few but it's been a while since I've done this.
I know that the two denominators go as (x+2)(x+6) and (x+2)(x+7) but from that point on, I'm a little lost. Help please? (:

%28x+%2B+5%29%2F%28x%5E2+%2B+8x+%2B+12%29+%2B+%285x+-+1%29%2F%28x%5E2+%2B+9x+%2B14%29

--- Multiplying by LCD: (x + 6)(x + 2)(x + 7)
