%28a%2F1%29%2F%28b%2B%281%2F1%29%2B%28c%2Fx%29%29

This is a complex fraction, but it's not nearly as bad as it looks. The common denominator for the entire problem is x, so multiply the numerator and denominator by x, and all the ugly fractions will "go away"! The hard part is writing the fraction!!

%28%28x%2F1%29%2F%28x%2F1%29%29%2A%28%28a%2F1%29%2F%28b%2B%281%2F1%29%2B%28c%2Fx%29%29%29= %28ax%29%2F%28bx+%2Bx%2Bc%29+
