Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{14 {x}^{2}  - 96}{ {x}^{4} - 13 {x}^{2}   + 36}}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{ \frac{2}{x - 2}  +  \frac{1}{x - 3}  -  \frac{2}{ x + 2}  -  \frac{1}{ x + 3}}

⇒\sf{ \frac{2(x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 2) + (x - 2)(x + 2)(x  + 3) - 2(x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 3) - (x - 2)(x  +  2)(x - 3)}{(x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 2)(x + 3)}}

Use the formula : a² - b² = ( a + b ) ( a - b )

⇒\sf{ \frac{2( {x}^{2}  - 9)(x + 2) + ( {x}^{2} - 4)(x + 3) - (2x - 4)( {x}^{2} - 9) - ( {x}^{2}   - 4)(x - 3) }{( {x}^{2}  - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9)}}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{ \frac{(2 {x}^{2} - 18)(x + 2) + ( {x}^{2}  - 4)(x + 3) - (2x - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9) - ( {x}^{2}   - 4)(x - 3)}{( {x}^{2}  - 4)( {x}^{2} - 9) }  }

Multiply the algebraic expressions

⇒\sf{ \frac{2 {x}^{3} + 4 {x}^{2}  - 18x - 36 +  {x}^{3}   + 3 {x}^{2} - 4x - 12 - (2 {x}^{3}  - 18x - 4 {x}^{2}   + 36) - ( {x}^{3} - 3 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 12) } {( {x}^{2}  - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9)} }

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression, change the sign of each term in the expression

⇒\sf{ \frac{2 {x}^{3} + 4 {x}^{2} - 18x - 36  +  {x}^{3} + 3 {x}^{2}    - 4x - 12 - 2 {x}^{3}   + 18x + 4 {x}^{2}  - 36 -  {x}^{3}  + 3 {x}^{2}  + 4x - 12}{( {x}^{2} - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9) } }

Since two opposites add up to zero, it would be better to remove them from the expression

⇒\sf{ \frac{4 {x}^{2}  - 36 + 3 {x}^{2}  - 12 + 4 {x}^{2}  - 36 + 3 {x}^{2}   - 12}{( {x}^{2}  - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9)} }

collect like terms and simplify

⇒\sf{ \frac{14 {x}^{2}  - 48 - 36 - 12}{( {x}^{2} - 4)( {x}^{2} - 9)  } }

⇒\sf{ \frac{14 {x}^{2}  - 84 - 12}{( {x}^{2}  - 4)( {x}^{2} - 9) } }

⇒\sf{ \frac{14 {x}^{2}  - 96}{ ({x}^{2} - 4)( {x}^{2}  - 9)}  }

Multiply : ( x² - 4 ) and ( x² - 9 )

⇒\sf{ \frac{14 {x}^{2}  - 96}{ {x}^{4}  - 13 {x}^{2}  + 36}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

It depends on the quality of the balls. It also depends on where you are buying them. Do you have any more details?

A restaurant worker server earns a base salary of $6 per hour plus tips. If he averages $12 per hour in tips, how many hours mus
zhannawk [14.2K]
18.5 hours



To solve this problem, you first need to figure out the average amount of money per hour the worker earns.

That would be the base salary plus the average tips per hour. So

$6 + $12 = $18



Then to figure out how many hours the worker needs to work, divide the goal by the hourly earnings. So

$333 / $18 = 18.5 hours.



Therefore on average, it will take 18.5 hours to earn $333, assuming a base salary of $6/hour and an average of $12 in tips per hour.
