I really need help simplifing complex fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "4+2/x / x/4+1/8 can you help?
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2B%282%2Fx%29%29%2F%28%28x%2F4%29%2B%281%2F8%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "in first step you have to find common denominator for
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2B%282%2Fx%29=4x%2Fx%2B%282%2Fx%29=+%284x%2B2%29%2Fx=+2%282x%2B1%29%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F4%29%2B%281%2F8%29=%282x%2F8%29%2B%281%2F8%29=%282x%2B1%29%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "then you get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%282x%2B1%29%2Fx%29%2F%28%282x%2B1%29%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "to divide fractions it means you have to multiply first by inverse of second
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%282x%2B1%29%2Fx%29%2A%288%2F%282x%2B1%29%29\"= \"16%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
