Question

How would I simplify this complex fraction?
29+2/3x on top of 72+x

Answer 1

multiply the top and bottom by 72+x...

so the bottom cancels out and you're left with

(29+ 2/3x)(72+x)

easy multiplication now...you can finish

Answer 2

is that (2/3)*x or 2/(3x)

Answer 3

(2/3)x

Answer 4

what he said

Answer 5

after partial fraction decomp you get (2/3) - (19/(x+72)) forgot how to do it personally but if you have a ti 89 the expand function will do it for you.... will save you tons of time if you have to take differential equations
