Simplify an algebraic fraction that is fully factorised with common factors between the numerator and denominator, and one of the variables has a larger index on the denominator. Part of HELM Book 1.4

Simplify a fraction where the numerator and denominator are factorised and have common products, and one of the common factors is powered. Part of HELM book 1.4

Simplify, if possible,
(a) $\frac{2}{3}x^2 + \frac{x^2}{3}$, (b) $0.5x^2 + \frac{3}{4}x^2 - \frac{11}{2}x$, (c) $3x^3 - 11x + 3yx + 11$, and (d) $-4\alpha x^2 + \beta x^2$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants.

The numbers and letters are all randomised.
