this is what you say the problem is as u have written it

first when u have a fraction over a fraction its a lot easier to calculate if u multiply the top fraction by the reciprical of the bottom fraction.

since a+x is in numerator and there is one a+x in denomerator and they are being multiplied they can be cross cancelled out

multiply the numerators

same thing as befor, when u have a fraction over a fraction its a lot easier to calculate if u multiply the top fraction by the reciprical of the bottom fraction.

cross cancell the ab

multiply across
