My college teacher said it had to be done his way in order for us to get the credit. And that's the way he did it but idk it doesn't look right to me.

(x+5)(x-2) - (x+5)(x+1) ---------- ---------- (x+5)(x+1) (x+5)(x-2) -------------------------- (x+5)(x+1) - (x+5)(x-2) ----------- ----------- (x+5)(x-2) (x+5)(x+1) So I factor them than I multiply times the LCD which (x+5)(x+1)(x-2) I got this. (x+5)(x-2)(x-2) -...

I don't know where to go from there do I subtract like terms like (x+5) since there's a minus sign inbetween them. And yeah we can cancel similar algebraic equations like top and bottom that are the same we strike them out and replace them with 1's.

Homework Statement Homework Equations Idk what to do after I multiply the LCD I get confused please help me. The Attempt at a Solution All I know is that the LCD is (x+5)(x+1)(x-2) and when I multiply into every fraction I get this. (X+5)(X-2)(X-2) - (X+5)(X+1)(X+1)...
