Simplification of rational expressions
I have the following expression:
2
x
−
2
+
2
x
2
−
5
x
+
6
So I can simplify this as:
2
x
−
2
+
2
(
x
−
3
)
(
x
−
2
)
I make the common denominator to be
(
x
−
3
)
(
x
−
2
)
So I then apply
(
x
−
3
)
to the left hand side which gives me:
2
(
x
−
3
)
+
2
(
x
−
3
)
(
x
−
2
)
I have clearly taken a wrong step because the answer in the book to the original expression is
2
x
−
3
so I'm not sure how that answer was arrived at.

I would like to further my research on this topic, but I don't know what the name of these types of fractions are.
receiving a link to a tutorial would be fine too, I just don't know what search terms to use.

{

Then I can equate the real and imaginary parts of the equation and solve for x and y. I tried to multiply by the conjugate so that I would get a real number at the denominator.
Rearranged:
x

If you are dealing with fraction math problems, you are in the correct section as you will find both questions and answers with detailed explanations. Before you study fraction problems with answers, ensure that you explore the original instruction because fraction algebra equations must be understood from a logical point of view. It is what makes fraction problems and answers important as they tend to inspire learners for thinking. If you cannot find a solution for your question, explore more fraction math problems with answers and try to find the rationality of divisions first!
