Math Problem Statement

x + 4/x - 3 ÷ x - 3/x + 2 =

Solution

To solve the expression:

x+4x3x3x+2x + \frac{4}{x} - \frac{3}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 2}

We will simplify it step by step:

  1. Combine the terms with the same denominator, which are 4x\frac{4}{x} and 3x\frac{3}{x}:

x+(4x3x)3x+2x + \left(\frac{4}{x} - \frac{3}{x}\right) - \frac{3}{x + 2}

This simplifies to:

x+43x3x+2=x+1x3x+2x + \frac{4 - 3}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 2} = x + \frac{1}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 2}

  1. So, the simplified expression is:

x+1x3x+2x + \frac{1}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 2}

This is as simplified as we can get without knowing the value of xx.
