Question

Can anyone please add this rational expression, and demonstrate and explain how to do so? Thanks. 2x-2/4x + 3x+3/2x

Answer 1

I wouldn't ask the difference between the denominators
that would be 4x - 2x = 2x
I don't think this is the right approach

just like when you are adding
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }+ \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
you don't ask what is the difference between the denominators
DIFFERENCE in mathematical terms means subtraction, so it would be a very misleading term to use when adding fractions

Answer 2

Right. But Im still confused as to how to solve it though
