First, we factor the denominators:
x2−9x+20=(x−4)(x−5) x2−4x=x(x−4) So the expression becomes (x−4)(x−5)6+x(x−4)7. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator is x(x−4)(x−5). We multiply the first fraction by xx and the second fraction by x−5x−5: (x−4)(x−5)6⋅xx+x(x−4)7⋅x−5x−5=x(x−4)(x−5)6x+x(x−4)(x−5)7(x−5) Now we can add the numerators:
x(x−4)(x−5)6x+7(x−5)=x(x−4)(x−5)6x+7x−35=x(x−4)(x−5)13x−35 We can expand the denominator if needed:
x(x−4)(x−5)=x(x2−5x−4x+20)=x(x2−9x+20)=x3−9x2+20x So the expression is x3−9x2+20x13x−35. We cannot simplify this fraction further, since 13x−35 cannot be factored, and it does not share any common factors with the denominator.
