| ① | Subtract $x$ from $ \dfrac{x^2+5x+6}{x^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -x^3+x^2+5x+6 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Subtract $6$ from $ \dfrac{-x^3+x^2+5x+6}{x^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -x^3-5x^2+5x+6 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
