Algebra Problem:

Question

Add: (4x+12)/(x-2) - (2x+8)/(-x+2)

(A) (2x+4)/(x-2)

(B) (6x²+24x+8)/(x²-4)

(C) (6x+20)/(x-2)

(D) -2

(E) none of the above

Answer 1

Yes, the answer is C.

The negative sign in the middle of the 2 terms converts the denominator of the second term to (x-2)...which is then the common denominator and the addition follows directly.
