Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 23+2c
Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. Since both fractions have the same denominator of 2, there is no need to find a least common multiple (LCM). The common denominator is already 2.
Combine numerators: Combine the numerators of the fractions since the denominators are the same. This gives us (3+c)/2.
Check for further simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further. Since we do not know the value of c, we cannot simplify the fraction any further. The final simplified expression is (3+c)/2.
