Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

So he got , 
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
In order to solve you get x by itself:
5-x=12
-5 -5
-x=7
divide by negative 1
All of these are different methods of learning math. Visually, you can see graphs, charts, and geometric figures to help you learn. I'm not sure what a 'local learner' is. Physical learners can learn better by holding geometric figures, drawing graphs, etc. Auditory learners may learn best by listening to a teacher's lecture.

-3 + 5/ 2 = 1
therefore the axis of symmetry is x=1
<span>You should consume 25 grams of fiber daily.
The oatmeal represents 16% of the fiber.
The rest of the fiber (21 grams) is 84%.
If 21 grams = 84%, then 1 gram = 4%.
If 1 gram = 4%, then 25 grams = 100%.</span>
