6y/5x^3 + 6x/6y

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

6y / 5x^3 + 6x / 6y Notice, they do not share a common denominator, so we need to fix that. 6y (6y) / 5x^3(6y) + 6x(5x^3) / 5x^3(6y) Can you simplify from here?

im confussed!

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

Say you have 1 / 5 + 1 / 6. You can't just add across, because 1 / 5 does not have the same denominator as 1 / 6. (The denominator is the number on the bottom). So, we have to multiply the first number ( 1 / 5) by 6 to get 6 / 30 Then multiply the second number (1 / 6) by 5 to get 5 / 30. Now we can add them because they have the same denominator. 6 / 30 + 5 / 30 = 11 / 30 The same process applies to your question!

is this what your equation looks like? and r u supposed to find x and y \[\frac{ 6y }{5x^3 } + \frac{ 6x }{ 6y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, @blurbendy correct set up but it might be easier to read if it looked like this...\[\frac{ 6y(6y) }{ 5x^3(6y) } + \frac{ 6x(5x^3) }{ 5x^3(6y)}\]

Do you have answer choices?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

@Rosy95 How do you get it format like that?
