You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.
What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.
Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.
The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.
So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).
Numerator:
= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)
= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)
= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3
= (x -3)(x - 19)
Denominator:
Now we put the pieces together.
Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)
Note: The height of the room must be 3 m instead of 3 cm because 3 cm is too small and it cannot be the height of a room.
Given:
Perimeter of the floor of a room = 18 metre
Height of the room = 3 metre
To find:
The area of 4 walls of the room.
Solution:
We know that, the area of 4 walls of the room is the curved surface area of the cuboid room.
The curved surface area of the cuboid is
Where, h is height, l is length and b is breadth.
Perimeter of the rectangular base is 2(l+b). So,
Putting the given values, we get
Therefore, the area of 4 walls of the room is 54 sq. metres.
