subtracting and adding advanced fractions ?_?

[TumbleDrew]

I am having difficulty on these kinds of problems. here is an example i made up:

7/(w - 5) + 6/(w - 3) - (3w)/(w^2 - 8w + 15)

Can you solve it and show me the steps??

THANK YOU!

Can you solve it and show me the steps??

Any lesson will have worked examples, so take a look! :wink:

Please study at least two lessons from the link, working through all of the examples in the lessons you pick. Once you have learned the basic terms and techniques, please attempt the posted exercise. If you get stuck, please reply showing everything you have tried, and we'll be glad to try to get you going again. :idea:

Thank you!
