Step-by-step explanation:
as the denominator (x+3) is in both you need only one denominator to be multiplied in first rational number .
<u>2</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>x-2</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u><u> </u>+ <u>5</u><u>. </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>
(x+3) (x-2). (x+3) (x-2)
<u>2</u><u>x</u><u>^</u><u>2</u><u>-</u><u>4</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u>5</u><u> </u>
<u>(</u>x+3) (x-2)
it's cannot be solved after that.
