Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 57uv+6u1
Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the two fractions.The common denominator for 5 and 6u is 30u.
Rewrite Fractions: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator.For the first fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 6u to get (7uv×6u)/(5×6u).For the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5 to get (1×5)/(6u×5).
Perform Multiplications: Perform the multiplications in the numerators and denominators.(7uv×6u)/(5×6u) becomes (42u2v)/(30u).(1×5)/(6u×5) becomes 5/(30u).
Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions over the common denominator. (42u2v)/(30u)+5/(30u) becomes (42u2v+5)/(30u).
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the combined fraction if possible.In this case, the numerator and denominator do not have common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.
