Question 126000
{{{(5)/(3x)+(7)/(3x)}}} Start with the given expression



Since each fraction has the common denominator {{{3x}}}, we can combine the fractions



{{{(5+7)/(3x)}}} Combine the fractions by combining the numerators and placing them over the common denominator





{{{(12)/(3x)}}} Add the numerators



{{{4/x}}} Reduce



So {{{(5)/(3x)+(7)/(3x)}}}  simplifies to {{{4/x}}}



In other words, {{{(5)/(3x)+(7)/(3x)=4/x}}}
