This one will take a little work, hang with me here.
OpenStudy (wholock):
Alrighty, so, let's start by simplifying the bottom.
We are going to separate it into 2 equations.
\[((x + 1)/x) * -4/1\]
Figure the LCD
\[((x+1)/x) * -4/x\]
Add them together
\[(x + 1 - 4x)/x\]
Add like terms to get
-3x + 1
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
okay, following..

Now for the top!
\[((3(x + 1))/x) * -1/1\]
Using the same rules, take the LCD:
\[((3(x+1)/x) * (x/x)\]
(3(x + 1) - x)/x
(2x + 3)/x
OpenStudy (wholock):
This makes the equation
(2x + 3)/-(3x + 1)
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
so 6x + 4?
OpenStudy (wholock):
The domain is all reall numbers except those that make the equation zero..
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
so 3rd choice?

No! don't worry about simplifying further. Just work the denominator.
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
okay im so 1/3 then now it's the first choice?
OpenStudy (wholock):
Correct!
OpenStudy (wholock):
Sorry about the wait!
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
okay, thought so! no problem, i'm so thankful that you're helping! one more :'D

Kay, begin by finding an LCD.
\[(1/2x) + (3/1)\]
\[(1/2x) + ((3 * 2x)/2x)\]
\[(1 + 6x)/2x\]
The LCD now will work for the numerator as well, so now you simply multiply the numerator by the LCD which is 2x.
OpenStudy (wholock):
2/((1+6x)/2x)
2 * 2x = ?

Yes! That's it!
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
so the first choice?
OpenStudy (wholock):
Ta-da!
