Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 58rs+r
Common Denominator Calculation: To combine the terms into a single fraction, we need to have a common denominator. Since the second term, r, does not have a denominator, we can think of it as r/1. To combine it with the first term, 8rs/5, we need to multiply r by 5/5 to get the common denominator of 5.Calculation: r×(5/5)=(5r)/5
Rewriting with Common Denominator: Now we rewrite the expression with the common denominator: (58rs)+(55r)
Adding Numerators: Next, we add the numerators while keeping the common denominator: egin{equation}\frac{8rs + 5r}{5}d{equation}
Factoring Out Common Factor: To simplify the numerator, we factor out the common factor r: 5r(8s+5)
Final Simplified Expression: The expression is now simplified and expressed as a single fraction in simplest form. There is no further simplification possible since 8s+5 does not have any common factors with 5.Final Answer: r(8s+5)/5
