How do you add 3/w+6 + 7/3w (those are fractions)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/3w+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9/3w+6+7/3w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you would multiply the first problems by 3? to get the 9 /3w+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt that how you got 9/3w+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/w extend with 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need a common denominator of 3w(w + 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply the first fraction by 3w/3w which would equal 3(3w) = 9w over 3w(w + 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply the second fraction by (w + 6)/(w + 6) 7(w + 6)/ 3w(w + 6) = 7w + 42 over 3w(w + 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have a common denominator 9w + 7w + 42 -------- ----------- 3w(w + 6) 3w(w + 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add the top 16w + 42 --------- 3w(w + 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you simplify that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

resoult will be the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could take out a 2 2(8w + 21) --------- 3w(w + 6) But that is as far as you can go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much for the help
