Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 4w4x6wx+4w4x3
Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. The given fractions have the same denominator, which is 4w4x.
Combine numerators: Combine the numerators over the common denominator. Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators directly.The new fraction becomes (6wx+3)/(4w4x).
Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator if possible. In this case, there is no common factor between 6wx and 3, so the numerator remains as is.
Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. Since there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
