Accepted Answer

Identify the two rational expressions to be added: $$\frac{x+9}{10x$$^{3}$$}$$ and $$\frac{11}{15x$$^{2}$$}. $$Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the two fractions. The denominators are $$10x^{3}$$ and $$15x^{2}. $$Factor each denominator into prime factors: $$10x^{3} = 2$$ 	imes 5 	imes $$x^{3}$$ and $$15x^{2} = 3$$ 	imes 5 	imes $$x^{2}. $$Determine the LCD by taking the highest powers of each prime factor present: for numbers, take $$2$$, $$3$$, and $$5$$; for variables, take $$x^{3}. So$$, the LCD is $$30x^{3}. $$Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator. For $$\frac{x+9}{10x$$^{3}$$}$$, multiply numerator and denominator by $$3 to $$get denominator $$30x^{3}. $$For $$\frac{11}{15x$$^{2}$$}$$, multiply numerator and denominator by $$2x to $$get denominator $$30x^{3}. $$Add the numerators over the common denominator: $$\frac{3(x+9) + 11(2x)}{30x$$^{3}$$}. $$Then simplify the numerator by distributing and combining like terms.
