Question 253908
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.
