Need help on Simplifying Complex fractions pleaseeeee!! will give out medals. Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any problems you're working

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes hold on i'll upload the pic file @helpme1.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

prob. #33 @helpme1.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first find the LCD for the denominator, and combine the fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the one thing im having trouble with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i need to do this on paint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what you would have when you add the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what you need to do is reverse (10x+6)/(x^2+x), and multiply it to the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok a little confusing but its ok so the lcd is x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@helpme1.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the LCD is x^2+x basically what you needed to do was multiply the denominator of x and x+1 and that will give you the LCD while you do that, you also have to multiply 6 and x+1 and also multiply 4 and x then combine like terms like i did on the work sheet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thanks a bunch!!!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, but the work is not done yet, that was just to combine the denominator fraction :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know how to do the rest but i just had trouble with the lcd :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright :)
