Question 869040: Hello I was just hoping that someone could help clarify an answer for me.
10/(x^2+x-6)+ 3x/(x^2-4x+4)
This has already been solved on the website but my problem is that I do not understand why the steps were carried out as they were. Could someone solve this for me again with a more detailed explanation? For instance I cant figure out why this [10(x-2) + 3x (x+3)]/ [(x+3)(x-2)^2] is going on. Why am I multiplying 10(x-2) and 3x(x+3)? I think that the operation for dealing with the perfect square trinomial (x-2)^2 is what's throwing me off. Please help! Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The addition of the two rational expressions requires changing each rational expression into an equivalent one using the simplest common denominator (like Lowest Common Denominator.)
and .
These as denominators mean that the "lowest" common denominator is .
The first summand, ;
and you will use a different factor of 1 for the second summand.
