Start with
We observe that both fractions are not defined if . So, we will assume
.
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:
We multiply both sides by :
We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:
We check the solution:
which is true
Last Question
Because this may not be the question you want, I'll omit the first step which should be done with latex. The key to all of these except C is to invert the second fraction (turn the second fraction upside down) and multiply.
A
=(6*-2) / (5*3) = - 12/15 = -4/5
B
= (7*5) / (4*3) = 35 / 12 = 2 11/12
C
Impossible to do 4/0 cannot be done.
D
= (-2*-4)/(3*5) =
8/15
