Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 56c+5bc
Identify Denominator: Identify that both terms have the same denominator, which is 5. This means we can combine the numerators directly without finding a least common multiple (LCM).
Add Numerators: Add the numerators together while keeping the common denominator. This gives us (6c+bc)/5.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor 'c' from the numerator. This gives us c(6+b)/5.
Check for Simplification: Check if the expression can be simplified further. Since there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the expression is already in its simplest form.
