Question 99447: In this expression I know that the first step is to find the common denominator. And that's where I stopped. Yeah. The expression has complex fractions and involves variables. It is . Where do I start? I believe that I multiply 6(x-2) by 6x however there's already a 6 in both denominators so do I just ignore this and multiply by (x-2)? I'm very confused. Can you help me?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7/6(x-2)-(x-3)/6x
------------
Least common denominator is 6x(x-2)
Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
------------------
7*x/lcd - (x-3)*(x-2)/lcd
--------------
Combine the numerators over the lcd to get:
[7x-(x^2-5x+6)]/lcd
Simplify the numerator:
[-x^2+12x-6]/lcd
-----------
Final Answer:
[-x^2+12x-6]/[6x(x-2)]
