Step-by-step explanation:
- So we need to find the LCD of the expressions
- 2y – 1 / y + 3x – 1 / x
- Now lcd of this expression will be xy
- So x(2y – 1) + y(3x – 1) /xy
- Or we get x – 5xy + y / xy
- 2x – 1 / 2x^2 + 5x + 2 + 3 / 2x + 2
- 2x – 1 / (x + 2) (2x + 1) + 3 / 2(x + 1)
- ( 2x^2 + 5x + 2 will be
- splitting the terms we get 2x^2 + 4x + x + 2
- Taking common terms we get 2x (x + 2) + 1(x + 2)
- Taking common we get (x + 2)(2x + 1) )
- So we get the LCD as (x + 2)(2x + 1) 2(x + 1)
- Next question is 2x – 1 / x + 2 – x + 1 / x – 2
- So we get
- (2x – 1) (x – 2) – (x + 2) (x + 1) / (x + 2) (x – 2)
- So LCD will be (x + 2)(x – 2)
