How do you add 3/w+6 + 7/3w (those are fractions)
16/3w+6
how did you get that answer?
9/3w+6+7/3w
so you would multiply the first problems by 3? to get the 9 /3w+6
what do you mean?
isnt that how you got 9/3w+6
3/w extend with 3
You need a common denominator of 3w(w + 6)
yes
Multiply the first fraction by 3w/3w which would equal 3(3w) = 9w over 3w(w + 6)
Multiply the second fraction by (w + 6)/(w + 6) 7(w + 6)/ 3w(w + 6) = 7w + 42 over 3w(w + 6)
yes so easy
Now you have a common denominator 9w + 7w + 42 -------- ----------- 3w(w + 6) 3w(w + 6)
Add the top 16w + 42 --------- 3w(w + 6)
can you simplify that answer?
resoult will be the same
You could take out a 2 2(8w + 21) --------- 3w(w + 6) But that is as far as you can go.
ok thanks so much for the help
