Question 253908: what is the answer to 5x/3x * x + 12/12

I suspect you want to simplify the expression.

without parentheses, you process left to right doing exponents and roots first, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction.

expression is:

5x/3x * x + 12/12

(5x/3x) = (5/3)

(5/3)*x = 5x/3

expression becomes:

5x/3 + 12/12

since 12/12 = 1, then expression becomes:

5x/3 + 1

multiply 1 by 3/3 to get 3/3.

expression becomes:

5x/3 + 3/3

combine numerators with common denominator to get:

(5x+3)/3

I don't believe it can be simplified any further.
