Core 3 Question ?
Basically I need help with this question I get that x+2 is a multiple of xsquared - 4 but then what else do I do from there
rewrite (X^2- 4 ) as (x + 2)(x - 2) and then see if it's clearer 
Difference of two SQUUUUUUUARES.
The first fraction should be changed into (x + 2) (x - 2)
From this make both denominators the same and add

To add/subtract algebraic fractions you need to make the denominators the same. First, factorise Hint: think difference of two squares.
Edit: Looks like I got beaten to it!
