1. Substitute the factorised form from part (a) and make the second denominator compatible.
From part (a),
27x2−12=3(3x+2)(3x−2).
Also,
2−3x=−(3x−2).
So
27x2−125+2−3x2=3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−3x−22.
2. Express both fractions over a common denominator.
The common denominator is
3(3x+2)(3x−2).
Hence,
3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−3x−22=3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−3(3x+2)(3x−2)6(3x+2).3. Combine and simplify the numerator.
3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−3(3x+2)(3x−2)6(3x+2)=3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−6(3x+2)
=3(3x+2)(3x−2)5−18x−12
=3(3x+2)(3x−2)−18x−7
=−3(3x+2)(3x−2)18x+7.
答案−3(3x+2)(3x−2)18x+7
