1/x + 3

1/x + 3/1

1/x + 3x/x

(1+3x)/x

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so 

(1/x)+3

is the same as

(1+3x)/x

anonymous · Answer

okayy.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

making

(4)/(x+3)/[(1/x)+3)]

the same as

(4)/(x+3)/[(1+3x)/x]

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

to divide the two fractions, you flip the second fraction and you multiply to get this

[ (4)/(x+3)  ] * [ x/(1+3x) ]

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

do you see what to do from here?

anonymous · Answer

yeahh.. but the division sign under the four.. isnt actually diving the 4.. its a big line like this l but flipped the other way.. and is bigger than a division symbol.

anonymous · Answer

yes. |dw:1359785516392:dw|

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok so basically you have the fraction 4/(x+3) and that's over the expression (1/x) + 3 right?

anonymous · Answer

so it looks like.. i drew it just like it is asked to me.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so that would mean that this
