① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{x-2024}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x+2023\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{x-2024}\right) \cdot \left( x+2023\right) = x^2+2023x-2024x-4094552 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ x^2+ \color{blue}{2023x} \color{blue}{-2024x} -4094552 = x^2 \color{blue}{-x} -4094552 $$ |
③ | 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. |
