Are the other possible ways in adding or subtracting Rational Algebraic Expressions?

39 Views Asked by At

I would like to know if there is/are other way/s in solving rational algebraic expressions.

This is what I usually do in adding or subtracting rational expressions $$\frac{22x+7}{6x+5} - \frac{10x-3}{6x+5}$$

First, I combine like terms, $$\frac{22x+7}{6x+5} - \frac{10x-3}{6x+5}=\frac{12x+10}{6x+5}$$

Then, I factor the numerator to see if I could cancel common factors, $$\frac{12x+10}{6x+5}=\frac{2(6x+5)}{6x+5}=2$$

Are there other ways? Also, I'm not just asking for other ways on solving the equations above.

Thank you
