To solve the problem of subtracting the rational expressions correctly, let’s fill in the variables step by step: 1. For \( x + a \): We need to factor \( x^2 + 6x \) as \( x(x + 6) \). Here, \( a \) must be \( 6 \). 2. For \( b \): When rewriting \( \frac{2}{(x+6)(x-6)} \), we need to ensure it's expressed over a common denominator of \( (x + 6)(x - 6)x \). Thus, multiplying by \( x \), we find \( b = 2 \). 3. For \( c \): When we write \( -\frac{1}{x(x+6)} \) to have the same denominator, subtracting \( 1 \) gives us \( -x + 1 \). Therefore, \( c = 1 \). 4. For \( d \): The expression simplifies to \(\frac{(2 - 1)x + 1}{(x + 6)(x - 6)x}\). Thus, \( d = 1 \). 5. For \( e \): This results in \((1 + 1)\), leading to \( e = 1 \). 6. For \( f \): We find \( f \) by simplifying the expression, leading to \( f = 1 \) after combining similar terms. 7. Lastly, for \( g \): The full expression after simplification will result in \( g = 1 \) since we simplify down to the expression. The highlighted values are: \( a = 6, b = 2, c = 1, d = 1, e = 1, f = 1, g = 1 \).
