Answer:
1/x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/x−2 + 4/4-X^2
Factor 4−x^2
1/x−2 + 4/(x−2)(−x−2)
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x−2 and (x−2)(−x−2) is (x−2)(−x−2).
Multiply : 1/x−2 TIMES −x−2/−x−2
−x−2/(x−2)(−x−2) + 4/(x−2)(−x−2)
Since −x−2/(x−2)(−x−2) and 4/(x−2)(−x−2) have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
−x−2+4/(x−2)(−x−2)
Combine like terms in −x−2+4.
−x+2/(x−2)(−x−2)
Extract the negative sign in −x+2.
−(x−2)/(x−2)(−x−2)
Cancel out x−2 in both numerator and denominator.
1/X-2
