ok, this is the task:
8/ x²-4 + 6/ 3x -6 =
i know the first step, which is:
8*(3x-6) + 6*(x²-4) / (x²-4)*(3x-6)
but then, i dont know what to do

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{x^2-4} + \frac{6}{3x-6}$Quote:

$\displaystyle =\frac{(6)(x-2)(x+6)}{(x+2)(3)(x-2)^2}$
Can you simplify and finish the question off now? :)
