Description

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/2 + 1/3. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 6, and then adding the fractions to get 5/6. To solve this, we multiply each fraction by the appropriate factor to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 3/3) + (1 * 2/2) = 3/6 + 2/6. Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (3 + 2)/6 = 5/6.

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(8x) - 1/(3x). The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 24x, and then subtracting the fractions to get -5/(24x). We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (1 * 3)/(8x * 3) - (1 * 8)/(3x * 8) = 3/(24x) - 8/(24x). Then, we subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (3 - 8)/(24x) = -5/(24x).

We multiply each fraction by the appropriate unit fraction to create equivalent fractions with the common denominator: (2 * 5)/(3x * 5) + (4 * 3)/(5x * 3) = 10/(15x) + 12/(15x). Then, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: (10 + 12)/(15x) = 22/(15x).

This example demonstrates how to combine the rational expressions 1/(x + 3) - 1/4. The solution involves finding a common denominator, which is 4(x + 3), and then subtracting the fractions to get (-x + 1)/(4(x + 3)).
