Question

I dont understand complex Fractions it says Which expression is equivalent to the complex fraction but i dont know how to figure it out! I just need someone to walk me through it please!!!!

A. 2/X
B. X/2
C.2x/X^2 + 4
D. 2x/X+2

Answer 1

oh shoot forgot attachment

Answer 2

set

\[1 = \frac{x+2}{x+2}\]
then subtract the bottom fractions to make one fraction then just flip the bottom fraction and multiply it by the top fraction

Answer 3

so

\[\frac{\frac{x}{x+2}}{\frac{x+2}{x+2}-\frac{x}{x+2}}\]

Answer 4

since they have the same denominator you can combine them to

\[\frac{\frac{x}{x+2}}{\frac{x+2-x}{x+2}} = \frac{\frac{x}{x+2}}{\frac{2}{x+2}}\]

Answer 5

So the answer would be 2x
------------
X^2 +4?

Answer 6

\[\frac{\frac{x}{x+2}}{\frac{2}{x+2}} = \frac{x}{x+2}(\frac{x+2}{2})\]
