Question

Help please!

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

well I started by changing it to this format \[\frac{ x }{ x+2 } \div \frac{ 1 }{ x } + \frac{ 1 }{ x+2 }\]

Answer 3

if there wasn't addition in it I would flip the second equation and change it to multiplication, but I don't know what to do because of the addition.

Answer 4

yes, yes... i see

Answer 5

Wouldn't the answer be \[\frac{ x^2 }{ 2x+2}\]

Answer 6

well, are you able to flip the fraction (1/X) into (X/1) and multiply that to (X/X=2)?

Answer 7

I don't know, would it?

Answer 8

so really if you divide the fractions on the bottom its the same as reciprocating them to the top.

Answer 9

ye

Answer 10

I'm not sure @Da_Homie because it looks more like this\[\frac{ x }{ x+2 } \div (\frac{ 1 }{ x } + \frac{ 1 }{ x+2 })\]

Answer 11

Well, the way I did it will give you the answer but not actually learning how to do problems like this in the future.

But basically I plugged \[\frac{ \frac{ x }{x+2} }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x }+\frac{ 1 }{ x+2 } } \]
into my calculator and got 50/11. Then if I plug the rest of the multiple choice answers into my calculator, the only answer to give me 50/11 is C.

Answer 12

Cant u reciprocate it to (X+X+2/1)? and multiply?

Answer 13

I don't know, that's why I'm asking for help @Da_Homie lol and thank you @lehmad

Answer 14

What class is this for anyway?

Answer 15

Algebra 2

Answer 16

Oh snap, ur darn near 18 and only taking Algebra 2?

Answer 17

U should be in Calc by now at least

Answer 18

Anyway

Answer 19

what do you mean only? Algebra 2 is the regular math for my age! I'm only a junior

Answer 20

I don't know where you're from, but here you start with Algebra in freshman, geometry in sophomore and algebra 2 in junior.

Answer 21

We start with Geometry as a freshman :P. And a lot of us double up our maths too

Answer 22

well good for you I don't care. don't come into my questions and insult me

Answer 23

hahahaha calm down, i didnt mean to insult u. Sorry if i did

Answer 24

I'm in the correct math for my age and yes you did insult me.

Answer 25

Ok. well... would you prefer i continue to assist you with this problem, or leave?

Answer 26

Im fine either way, because we're both getting a little worked up here

Answer 27

I would be fine with you leaving.....
17 = junior = algebra 2
this is how it is where I am from

Answer 28

you can tell me I'm ugly and annoying but don't insult my academics.

Answer 29

so your first step just find the least common denomitor for all three fractions. What do you get for this?

Answer 30

Ok @AutumnRoseT To find the LCD the easiest way in this case since you have two denominators that are the same and one different is just multiply the two different denominators together yielding -> x^2+2x or x(x+2) now take that and multiply all of the fractions with it and simplify you should come out with C.
