Question 144447

{{{(12x-4)/(x-1)+(4x)/(x-1)}}} Start with the given expression


{{{(12x-4+4x)/(x-1)}}}   Since the denominators are the same, this means that we can add the numerators



{{{(16x-4)/(x-1)}}}  Combine like terms




--------------------------------------------------

Answer:


So {{{(12x-4)/(x-1)+(4x)/(x-1)}}} simplifies to {{{(16x-4)/(x-1)}}}. In other words {{{(12x-4)/(x-1)+(4x)/(x-1)=(16x-4)/(x-1)}}}
