Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Explanation:
The denominators of the two fractions must be the same. To make that happen, Juan can multiply the second fraction by (x-2)/(x-2) -- the marked answer choice -- and multiply the first fraction by 3/3. These operations can be done in some order.
The offered choices suggest that treating the second fraction first is Juan's preferred choice.
- multiply the second fraction by (x-2)/(x-2)
