Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Given Expression and Goal: Identify the given expression and the goal. We have the expression s/2 + t and we want to express it as a single fraction in simplest form.Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the terms in the expression. Since t can be written as t/1, we need to find a common denominator for 1/2 and 1/1. The common denominator is 2.Express t with Common Denominator: Express t with the common denominator. To express t with the common denominator of 2, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of t/1 by 2, which gives us 2t/2.Combine Fractions Over Common Denominator: Combine the fractions over the common denominator. Now we can combine s/2 and 2t/2 into a single fraction: (s/2) + (2t/2) = (s + 2t)/2Check for Further Simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further. The fraction (s + 2t)/2 is already in simplest form because s and t are variables and we have no information that would allow us to simplify the expression further.
