4x+8

Answer 4

You should use parenthesis to group things together.
Is it (4x+8) / (2x) + (x-1) / (3x) ?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Sorry ill do that next time. Its smart..

Answer 7

\[\frac{4x+8}{2x} + \frac{x-1}{3x} = \frac{2(2x+4)}{2x} + \frac{x-1}{3x} = \frac{2x+4}{x} + \frac{x-1}{3x} \]

Answer 8

The least common denominator is 3x.
\[\frac{2x+4}{x} + \frac{x-1}{3x} = \frac{6x+12}{3x} + \frac{x-1}{3x} = \frac{7x+11}{3x}\]

Answer 9

So then the final anser would be (7x+11)/(3x). Thats the simplest form, right?

Answer 10

Yes.
