what is the simplest form of this expression?
x-3/x-1 + 6/x-3
A. x^2+12x+15/(x-1)(x-3)
B. x^2-6x+3/(x-1)(x-3)
C. x^2+3/(x-1)(x-3)
D. x+3/(x-1)(x-3)
We want x−3x−1+6x−3. finding common denominator, we get (x−3)2+6(x−1)(x−3)(x−1)
Using distrubutive property and combining like terms about a billion times later, we get x2+3(x−1)(x−3), thus C is the correct answer choice.
