Add and simplify

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Your 1st answer is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{(x - 1)} - \frac{3}{(1 - x)} + 2$

$\frac{1}{(x - 1)} - \frac{3}{ - (x - 1)} + 2$

$\frac{1}{(x - 1)} + \frac{3}{(x - 1)} + 2$

$\frac{4}{(x - 1)} + 2$

$\frac{4 + 2(x - 1)}{x - 1}$

$\frac{4 + 2x - 2}{x - 1}$

$= \frac{2x + 2}{x - 1}$

$= \frac{2(x + 1)}{x - 1}$
