Question

8/p+5 + 3/p
add the fractions

Answer 1

Common Denominator: p(p+5)
8p/(p(p+5)) + ( (p+5)3)/(p(p+5))
8p + 3p + 15
11p + 15
(11p + 15)/(p^2 + 5p)

Answer 2

\[\frac{11 p+15} {p (p+5)} \]

Answer 3

8/p+5 + 3/p.
We want a common denominator.
8p/p(p+5) + 3(p+5)/p(p+5) is a solution.
Equivalently, we can add like terms.
(8p + 3p + 15)/p(p+5)
=(11p + 15)/p(p+5)
=(11p + 15)/(p^2+5p)
