Add. Make sure answer is in simplest form . Identify LCD . Please show work or explain to me how to do this .Thank you ! 3x 4x ---------- + ---------- x^2+3x x^2+3x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

take x common in denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and Do what with X ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

cancel of x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

first thing to do is add them as denominators are same then take x outside and cancel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this : 3x+4x ------------ x^2+3x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it becomes : 7x ----- x^2+3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do i combine the denominators ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

no just take x common x(x+3)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

so it becomes 7x/x(x+3) now cancel of x you get 7/(x+3) done !
