6 over x+3= 6/x + 6/3= 6/x+2 Answer by eperette(173) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6 over x+3= 6/x + 6/3= 6/x+2 is it right or wrong?
notice: 6 over x+3 should be written as follows
6/(x+3)
6/(x+3) cannot be separated
notice: if problem was stated as follows... 6 over x plus three it would mean....
6/x + 3 (following order of operations) which in this case is like saying
(6/x) + 3 which is not the same as 6/x + 2= (6/x) + 2
