Question

3/x+3/x+1+3/x+2

Answer 1

What's the question? Simplify?

Answer 2

yes how do i get LCD?

Answer 3

Well, if you turn the whole numbers into fractions by putting 1 under them, you've got a denominator of x on some and a denominator of 1 on the others...what's the LCM of x and 1?

Answer 4

....... but there are 3 fractions.....^^^ 3/x+3.....+........3/x+1........+..........3/x+2

Answer 5

im sorry the 1st fraction is 3/x

Answer 6

3/x.....+........3/x+1........+..........3/x+2

Answer 7

Ohhh. That's different. If you use parentheses, it becomes much clearer.

Answer 8

sorry :P

Answer 9

in this case, the common denominator is all three multiplied together

It is x(x+1)(x+2)

Answer 10

The easiest way to get a common denominator is just to multiply all the denominators...I'm not sure there's a quicker way in this case than doing that.

Answer 11

x^3 +3x^2+2x ?

Answer 12

I would not bother multiplying out the denominator. Leave it factored.
but now multiply each fraction so its denominator is the common denominator
for example, for the first fraction 1/x multiply by (x+1)(x+2)/(x+1)(x+2)

Answer 13

*3/x not 1/x
