Question

simplify x+3/9/x+12/6

Answer 1

Is this your question?:
\[\LARGE \frac{x+3}{\frac{9}{x}}+\frac{12}{6}\]

Answer 2

no there all on top of echaother

Answer 3

*eachother @Luigi0210

Answer 4

or:
\[\LARGE \frac{\frac{x+3}{9}}{{x}}+\frac{12}{6}\]

Answer 5

or is it :
x + (3/9)/x + 12/6

Answer 6

no ais kind of like the first one but all of them are on top of eachother @Luigi0210

Answer 7

Equation editor people. Makes it easier.

Answer 8

Maybe it's this:

\(\huge \dfrac{ \frac{x+3}{9}}{\frac{x+12}{6}} \)

Answer 9

@mathstudent55 yes!!!! your right

Answer 10

If it is what I wrote, then it's a fraction over a fraction.
That means a fraction divided by a fraction.

Answer 11

\(\huge \dfrac{ \frac{x+3}{9}}{\frac{x+12}{6}}\)

\( =\Large \dfrac{x+3}{9} \div \dfrac{x+12}{6} \)

Ok so far?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

To divide a fraction by a fraction, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

That means keep the first fraction as it is, flip the second fraction, and multiply them together.

\( =\Large \dfrac{x+3}{9} \times \dfrac {6} {x+12} \)

\( =\Large \dfrac{6(x+3)}{9(x + 12)} \)

Now all you need to do is to reduce the fraction.
Both the 6 in the numerator and the 9 in the denominator are divisible by 3.

Answer 14

so it would be 2(x+3)/3(x+12)

Answer 15

\( =\Large \dfrac{2(x+3)}{3(x + 12)} \)

You are correct.

Answer 16

There is nothing else you can do to reduce the fraction since x + 3 and x + 12 have no common factor.

Answer 17

In the future maybe you can use the equation editor or the draw tool to write problems like this one, so it's quicker to understand what you mean.

Answer 18

whats that?

Answer 19

This LaTex code:

\huge \dfrac{ \frac{x+3}{9}}{\frac{x+12}{6}}

produces this expression:

\(\huge \dfrac{ \frac{x+3}{9}}{\frac{x+12}{6}}\)

or you can use the draw tool:
