Question

Can someone please help me with this math question?
Please? I will fan and give a medal!!
Please help me to simplify this rational expression -
ax+bx a+b
-------- / -----
x^2 2x
**Note the / means to divide

Answer 1

\[\frac{ax+bx}{x^2}\times \frac{2x}{a+b}\] is step one

Answer 2

then \[\frac{x(a+b)\times 2x}{x^2(a+b)}\] then some cancellation

Answer 3

So the a+b would cancel out then what?

Answer 4

x*2x
-----
x^2

Answer 5

Can your latest result be cancelled further? Try it. Simplify x*2x.

Answer 6

so bc. x*2x=2x^2 in this way x^2 will cancel out from the top and bottom too and will remain there jus the 2
