Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 34+32r2s
Identify LCM of Denominators: Identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 3 and 3. Since both denominators are the same, the LCM is 3.
Combine Numerators: Since the denominators are already the same, we can directly combine the numerators. This gives us (4+2r2s)/3.
Check for Simplification: Check if the numerator can be simplified further. In this case, there are no like terms to combine, so the expression is already in its simplest form.
