Question

Morgan made a mistake when subtracting the rational expressions below.

Answer 1

the last answer is correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer : D

`(3t^2-4t+1)/(t+3) - (t^2+2t+2)/(t+3)`

The denominators are same

So we combine the numerators

`((3t^2-4t+1)-(t^2+2t+2))/(t+3)`

To remove parenthesis we distribute negative sign inside the second parenthesis

`(3t^2-4t+1-t^2-2t-2))/(t+3)`

`(3t^2-4t+1-t^2-2t-2))/(t+3)`

`(2t^2-6t-1))/(t+3)`

Morgan made a mistake. He forgot to distribute the negative sign

Morgan forgot to distribute the negative sign to two of the terms 2t and 2 inside second parenthesis
