4. Add the rational expressions. Simplify your answer. *
(4x-3) / (x+5)(x-1)
5 / (x+5)(x-1)
4(x-1) / (x+5)
4x / (x+5)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
