Add or subtract as indicated. (3x+2)/(3x+4) + (3x+6)/(3x+4)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify that both rational expressions have the same denominator, which is \(3x+4\).

Since the denominators are the same, you can combine the numerators directly by adding them: \((3x+2) + (3x+6)\).

Add the numerators by combining like terms: \(3x + 3x = 6x\) and \(2 + 6 = 8\), so the numerator becomes \(6x + 8\).

Write the combined expression as a single fraction: \(\frac{6x + 8}{3x + 4}\).

Check if the numerator and denominator can be factored to simplify the expression further.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

To add or subtract rational expressions, they must have a common denominator. Once the denominators are the same, combine the numerators by addition or subtraction while keeping the denominator unchanged.

Common Denominator Identification

A common denominator is a shared multiple of the denominators of the rational expressions involved. In this problem, both denominators are identical, so the common denominator is simply that expression, allowing direct addition of numerators.
