Are you adding or subtracting these fractions?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

And is x in the denominator (for each fraction)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dividing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Is the first fraction \[\Large \frac{3}{4x}\] ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3/(4x) ------ 1/(6x) really is ( 3/(4x) ) * ( (6x)/1 ) because when you divide fractions, you flip the second fraction and multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So multiply that last fraction out to get... ( 3/(4x) ) * ( (6x)/1 ) ( 3*6x )/( 4x*1 ) (18x)/(4x) 9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks
