To add two algebraic fractions you use the same procedure as you would with numbers.
\nFor example: $\\frac{1}{x}+\\frac{1}{6x}$
\nExpress with a common denominator: $\\frac{6+1}{6x}$
\nThe simplify if possible: $\\frac{7}{6x}$
\n\nSimilarly to subtract, you use a common denominator: $\\frac{6-1}{6x}$
\nThen simplify: $\\frac{5}{6x}$
\n\nTo multiply algebraic fractions, you multiply the top and then the bottom.
\n$\\frac{1}{x} \\times\\frac{1}{6x}$
\n$=\\frac{1\\times1}{x\\times6x}$
\n$=\\frac{1}{6x^2}$
\n\nTo divide algebraic fractions to turn the second one upside down and then multiply.
\n$\\frac{1}{x} \\div\\frac{1}{6x}$
\n$=\\frac{1}{x} \\times\\frac{6x}{1}$
\n=6 (since the $x$ cancels out)
