SOLUTION: i need to simplify (3x)/(x^2-25)+(5x)/(x+5). i factored (x^2-25) to (x+5)(x-5). then i multiplied (x-5) with (x+5) and 5x. next i added 3x to -25x. i got (5x^2-22x)/(x+5)(x-5). aft

Question 884336: i need to simplify (3x)/(x^2-25)+(5x)/(x+5). i factored (x^2-25) to (x+5)(x-5). then i multiplied (x-5) with (x+5) and 5x. next i added 3x to -25x. i got (5x^2-22x)/(x+5)(x-5). after i factored out x from (5x^2-22x). my final answer was x(5x-22)/(x+5)(x-5).where did i go wrong. and i need to leave it factored and include parenthesis around polynomials.
