Remove the parentheses: ( a) = a
[tex] \frac{6}{x+7} - \frac{3}{x-2} [/tex]
Find the least common denominator:
[tex](x+7)(x-2)[/tex]
Adjust fractions based on the LCD :
[tex] \frac{6(x-2)}{(x+7)(x-2)} - \frac{3(x+7)}{(x+7)(x-2)} [/tex]
[tex]= \frac{6(x-2)-3(x+7)}{(x+7)(x-2)} [/tex]
Expand :
[tex]6(x-2)-3(x+7)[/tex]
[tex]6 x - 12 - 3 x - 21[/tex]
[tex]6x - 3 x - 12 - 21[/tex]
[tex]3x - 33[/tex]
[tex] \frac{3x-33}{(x+7)(x-2)} [/tex]
hope this helps!
