simplify

\[\frac{ 5x }{ (x+3)^2 }+\frac{ 1 }{ x+3 }\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

ok start by a common denominator \[\frac{ 5x }{(x+3)(x+3)}+\frac{ 1 }{ x+3}\] when you write it like this it should be easy for you to see how to get a common denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so now i have to multiply yhe other side by (x+3)

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

exactly you'll end up with this: \[\frac{ 5x+(x+3) }{ (x+3)^{2}}\] you can now add the top from here
