Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 7c3+b2
Find LCM of denominators: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 7c and b. Since 7c and b are different and we have no information that they have any common factors, the LCM is simply their product, 7bc.
Make denominators the same: Make the denominators the same by multiplying the first fraction by bb and the second fraction by 7c7c. This gives us 7bc3b+7bc14c.
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression by adding the numerators since the denominators are the same. The final simplified expression is (3b+14c)/(7bc).
