To make ((-4/x+h)-(-4/x)/(h)) one single fraction do you first multiply it by h/h or h/1?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

...i dont get what you're asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To get rid of or cancel out the h, should I multiply the whole equation by h/h or h/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it would make sense to cancel out the h in the denominator first

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

why would you cancel h?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To help get the fraction down to a single fraction?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

...uhh that's not how to do it... how would you turn \[\frac 12 + \frac 34\] into a single fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change 1/2 into 2/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh so i need to change the top ones to have the same denominator so i can combine and simplify

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right...you're converting the denominator to LCD

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so try it here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i add an h to the second fraction without x being multiplied by h instead of added

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

...i dont get what you're saying o.O

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but here's a hint.. to get the LCD multiply the denominators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Neither do I haha okay thanks!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

welcome ^_^
