Question 253908: what is the answer to 5x/3x * x + 12/12
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
