I am unable to come up with the answer to the key for this problem. Can someone give it a try?
(4x^2+x-6)/(x^2+3x+2)-3x/(x+1)+5/(x+2)
Thanks in advance!

Dear sprivitor,
By simplification we would get,
Hope this helps.

Did you realise that x^2+3x+2 = (x+1)(x+2) ?
Thank you. I now see my problem was with a simple negative sign.
-3X/(X+1) + 5 / (X+2)
I made the WRONG assumption that this equals
-[3X/(X+1) + 5 / (X+2)]
it is equal to
-[3X/(X+1) - 5 / (X+2)]
