Question

write as a single fraction. simplify.

-8b-3y/ 8b + 5b+2y/ 2b +1

Answer 1

Would it be written like this?
\[-8b-3\frac{ y }{ 8b }+5b+2 \frac{ y }{ 2b}+1\]

Answer 2

yes exactly =)

Answer 3

Ok C: then the answer would be \[-3b+\frac{ 5y }{ 8b }+1\]

Answer 4

^Simplest Form^

Answer 5

@Luigi0210 sorry this post is easier to get to I didn't realize I had posted it again =o

Answer 9

:o
Whaaaaaaa?

Answer 10

.-. thats not possible hold on

Answer 11

Well I'll post it on both then..

Actually the common factors would be 8b, so just multiply the second by 4 to get 8b, and the 1 will be 8b/8b, like so:

\(\LARGE -\frac{8b-3y}{8b} +\frac{5b+2y}{2b} (4) + \frac{8b}{8b} \)

Simplify:

\(\LARGE -\frac{8b-3y}{8b} +\frac{20b+8y}{8b} + \frac{8b}{8b} \)

Now get it all over a common denominator like so:

\(\LARGE \frac{(20b-8b)+(8y+3y)+(8b)}{8b}\)
I also distributed the negative out

So it'll just be \(\LARGE \frac{20b+11y}{8b}\)

Make sense?
