Question 1
Simplify.
Explanation: 
Determine an LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 
and 
.
LCD = 
Multiply the top and bottom of the first rational expression by 
, so that the denominator will be 
.
Distribute the 
to 
.
Now you can subtract because both rational expressions have the same denominators.
