Question

Write a rational expression with denominator (x - 3)(x + 2) that is equivalent to 3x-1/x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x-3)(3x-1)/((x-3)(x+2))

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent fraction is formed by multiplying or dividing numerator and denominator by the same factor.

__

To get the desired denominator, the given denominator must be multiplied by (x-3). To get the desired numerator of the equivalent fraction, the numerator must also be multiplied by (x-3).

  $\dfrac{3x-1}{x+2}=\boxed{\dfrac{(x-3)(3x-1)}{(x-3)(x+2)}=\dfrac{3x^2-10x+3}{x^2-x-6}}$
