You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given to simplify:
.
.
Notice that the two fractions have a common denominator. Therefore their numerators
can be combined over the common denominator. When you do that the given polynomial becomes:
.
.
Next notice that in the numerator both terms have a common factor of 5. So factor the numerator
and the polynomial then becomes:
.
.
Then observe that the denominator can be factored to . Substitute this
factored form for the denominator and you have:
.
.
There is a common term in the denominator and the numerator. Cancel this common term:
.
.
and you are left with the simplified form:
.
.
No further simplification is needed. This is your answer.
