7/6x+1/3 how do i simplify this?
you have to get common denomicators
so 21/18x is the answer?
is it (7/6)x or 7/(6x)?
its 7 over 6x
right so the lcd is then 6x
(7+2x)/(6x)
so what would be the answer
theres no 2 in the equation
right, but you need common denominators
if you want to add these fractions
ok u have 7/(6x) + 1/3 to add these fractions u need the same denominator the lcm here is 6x so to get 6x for both u need to multiply the 1st fraction by 1 and the 2nd fraction by 2x/2x: 7/(6x)(1/1)+(1/3)(2x/2x) 7/(6x)+2x/(6x) so it becomes (7+2x)/(6x)
and thats the end?
yup
that is the end , no way to simplify furter
thats what i though biut wasnt sure. know anything about complex fractions?
what your question?
1/b divided by 1/a-1/b
i get confused when theres a fraction under under the divide sign
To divide by a fraction, turn it upside down (reciprocal) and multiply by it instead.
