To find the least common denominator, we multiply the denominators that cannot factor into eachother. x, the denominator in 5/x, fits into 2x, so we do not need to multiply this number. Therefore, the least common denominator is: 2x(x+1)
The first term will be multiplied by 2x/2x The second term will be multiplied by (x+1)/(x+1) The third term will be multiplied by 2(x+1)
