    find a common denominator for all of them by first expanding the x^2-4 to (x+2)*(x-2)

    make sure when finding the common denom to multiply the numerator by the same thing as the denominator.

    for me to type it in here would take forever, but here is the answer maple 13 gave me

    (-18*x+6-25*x^2+2*x^4-10*x^3) / ((x-7)*(x+2))
