Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. d55+4d4
Find LCM of denominators: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators d5 and 4. Since d5 and 4 have no common factors (assuming d is not zero or a factor of 4), the LCM is simply 4d5.
Make denominators the same: Make the denominators the same by multiplying the first fraction by 4 and the second fraction by d5. This gives us d5⋅45⋅4+4⋅d5d4⋅d5.
Perform multiplication in numerators and denominators: Perform the multiplication in the numerators and denominators. This results in 4d520+4d5d9.
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression by adding the numerators since the denominators are the same. The final simplified expression is 4d520+d9.
