I can solve easy problems such as (x/2)+3=2+(3x/4). That is easy because the Lowest Common Denominator is 4. But what really gets me stuck is a problem like this one.
(6/x-2) = ( 21/(x-2)(x+2) )+ 1.

From A student:
In general, I understand rational expressions except when it comes to solving problems such as:
x+y/2x-y - 2x/y-2x or m-4/3m-4 + 3m+2/4-3m
I am confounded by the issue of having to find a common denominator. For example, if I tried to solve these problems by multiplying both denominators they would still be uncommon.

From Shivani:
I am in 11th grade Honors Algebra II. We are currently learning about adding and subtracting rational expressions. I looked at the other questions that were similar to that of mine, but they weren't quite answering my question. I have been working on many problems to practice and see if I can come up with the correct answer, but I can't, I got like 2 out of every 7 right on my school homework. I get the easy ones, where when you have to find the LCD, it's just the other denominator. But, on others you have to really think about it. Those are hard. Here are some of the problems that I cannot get at all: (x2 - 3x + 1)/(x2 - 4) - (x2 + 2x +4)/(2 - x) - (x - 4) /(x - 2)
The correct answer is:
(x3 + 4x2 + 7x + 17)/(x2 - 4)

From Simone:
hi, i'm totally lost. i understand that you need to find a lowest common denominator to subtract two fractions (rational expressions) with different denominators. but what if the denominators are "x-1" and "x". is x the common denominator? if so what happens to the "-1"? do you know of any live online help i can get with the following: 3/(x-1) - (1-2x)/x i've looked through my notes and have no examples that quite match that i can follow to get through it. please help!
