The subject is operations on rational expressions. The instructions are add or subtract the following expressions. Remember to find a common denominator when necessary. Reduce all answers to lowest terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

=

Now we have done the denominators of each term of the expression equal.

Further we add the terms,

=

=

=

Now factorize the numerator of the fraction.

4x² + 14x - 18 = 2(2x² + 7x - 9)

                     = 2(2x² + 9x - 2x - 9)

                     = 2[x(2x + 9) - 1(2x + 9)]

                     = 2(x - 1)(2x + 9)

Therefore, will be the answer.

50 min

step-by-step explanation:

they will be decreasing both their times in half

60 / 2 = 30

40/2 = 20

30 + 20 = 50

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
