Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 23+2w
Identify denominator: Identify that both fractions have the same denominator, which is 2. This means we can combine the numerators directly without finding a common denominator.
Add numerators: Add the numerators of the two fractions while keeping the common denominator. This gives us (3+w)/2.
Check for simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further. Since the numerator is 3+w, and w is a variable, we cannot simplify the fraction any further without knowing the value of w.
