Answer:

Explanation:

LCM = (a -3)(a-4)(a-5)


(1)/((a-3)(a-4))+(1)/((a-4)(a-5))+(1)/((a-5)(a-3))\\\\\\ = (1*(a-5))/((a-3)(a-4)(a-5))+(1*(a-3))/((a-4)(a-5)(a-3))+(1*(a-4))/((a-5)(a-3)(a-4))\\\\\\=(a-5+a-3+a-4)/((a-4)(a-3)(a-5))\\\\\\=(3a - 12)/((a-3)(a-4)(a-5))\\\\\\=(3(a-4))/((a-3)(a-4)(a-5))\\\\\\=(3)/((a-3)(a-5))
