Math Problem Statement

can you remove the x+ by putting it above common determinator

Solution

If you want to "remove" x+x + by incorporating it into a common denominator, the process typically involves rewriting terms so that they share a single denominator, allowing for simplification or further manipulation. Let me illustrate this concept:

Problem Example:

Suppose you have an expression like: 1x+x\frac{1}{x} + x

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Express xx as a fraction: Rewrite xx as x1\frac{x}{1}, so: 1x+x1\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x}{1}

  2. Find the common denominator: The least common denominator (LCD) of xx and 11 is xx. Rewrite both fractions with the LCD: 1x+x2x\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x^2}{x}

  3. Combine the fractions: Since the denominators are now the same, combine the numerators: 1+x2x\frac{1 + x^2}{x}

Final Expression:

The result is: 1+x2x\frac{1 + x^2}{x}

This approach effectively "removes" the x+x + by combining it into a single fraction over the common denominator.

Tip:

Always simplify fractions as much as possible after combining them—it makes later steps in solving or analyzing easier!
