Jeremy subtracted the following rational expressions. his teacher told him that his answer was incorrect. explain jeremy's error in the simplification process and provide the correct result.

Sample Response: Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator. Jeremy only distributed it to the x2-term, and not to 15. Instead, he kept the 15 positive. When he combined like terms, he got a result of 5 for the constants. The correct result is x + 5.

SAMPLE RESPONSE (provided by edge): Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply:

He did not distribute the negative correctly.

He only distributed the negative to the x2-term.

He got a result of 5 for the constants.

The correct result is x + 5.
