Question

how do i simplify (4x^2-20x+3/2x+1)+(2x^2-25x-27/4x+2)

Answer 1

When we add two fractions, we'll ahve to have the same denominator. We notice that the denominator of the 2nd fraction is 4x+2 = 2(2x+1).
We'll have to multiply the 1st fraction by 2, then we can add the numerators of the fractions:
(8x^2 - 40x + 6 + 2x^2 - 25x - 27)/(4x+2)
We'll combine like terms inside brackets and we'll get the simplified result
(10x^2 - 65x - 21)/(4x+2)

Answer 2

can that be simplified anymore or is that the answer
