Answer

Factors of the first denominator = (x+3)(x-2) Factors of the second denominator = (x+3)(x+1) The LCD = (x+3)(x-2)(x+1)

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+x-6$ factored out is (x+3)(x-2) $x^{2}+4x+3$ factored out is (x+3)(x+1) (x+3) is common in both denominators. The remaining denoimnators are (x-2) and (x+1); Therefore, the LCD is (x+3)(x-2)(x+1)
