Question

is 2a-c/m the same as a-c/m +a

Answer 1

Are the denominators the same for (a-c)/m and (a/1) ?

Answer 2

We lets check it out
\[ \frac{a-c}{m}+a\]
We can only add fractions if they have the same base. So the common denominator would be m so lets multiply the top and bottom by m
\[ \frac{a-c}{m}+a* \frac{m}{m}\]
\[ \frac{a-c}{m}+\frac{a*m}{m}\]
Now lets add the 2 fractions
\[ \frac{a-c+am}{m}\]

Answer 3

So is it the same?
