SOLUTION: This particular expression is... complicated. The original problem is {{{4x/(x+1)+5/(2x-3)-4/x}}} I solved it down to {{{(8x^3-15x^2+5x+12)/(2x^3-x^2-3x)}}} then I don't know what

Question 99462: This particular expression is... complicated. The original problem is 4x%2F%28x%2B1%29%2B5%2F%282x-3%29-4%2Fx I solved it down to %288x%5E3-15x%5E2%2B5x%2B12%29%2F%282x%5E3-x%5E2-3x%29 then I don't know what to do. I tried factoring by grouping and that didn't simplify the expression so then I thought about canceling like terms but that doesn't work for 5x and 3x and then there's nothing for 12. So, my question is: Am I done solving? Or do I have miles to go?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the 3rd term of the numerator should be 9x instead of 5x.
you did a fine job. you've gone about as far as you could go.
