Identify Like Terms: Identify the like terms in the expression. Since 3 is a whole number and 2/q is a fraction, we need to express 3 as a fraction with a common denominator with 2/q to combine them. The common denominator will be q.Convert Whole Number to Fraction: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the common denominator. To convert 3 to a fraction with denominator q, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by q: 3 * (q/q) = 3q/q.Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite the expression with the common denominator. Now we have 2/q + 3q/q. Since they have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators.Combine Numerators: Combine the numerators. Add the numerators together: 2 + 3q = 3q + 2.Write Over Common Denominator: Write the combined numerators over the common denominator. The combined fraction is (3q + 2)/q.Check for Further Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. Since 3q + 2 and q have no common factors other than 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
