simplify x-2+1/(x+8)

Solution

simplify

x - 2 + \frac{1}{x + 8}

Solution

\frac{x ^{2} + 6 x - 15}{x + 8}

Solution steps

x - 2 + \frac{1}{x + 8}

Convert

x

to fraction

: \frac{x ( x + 8 )}{x + 8}

Convert

2

to fraction

: \frac{2 ( x + 8 )}{x + 8}

= \frac{x ( x + 8 )}{x + 8} - \frac{2 ( x + 8 )}{x + 8} + \frac{1}{x + 8}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{x ( x + 8 ) - 2 ( x + 8 ) + 1}{x + 8}

Simplify

x (x + 8) - 2 (x + 8) + 1 : x^{2} + 6 x - 15

= \frac{x ^{2} + 6 x - 15}{x + 8}
