Practice with adding, subtracting and dividing basic algebraic fractions

\nYou will need to type your answer in the form (numerator)/(denominator). For this system please note the bractets need to be around all of the numerator or denominator for it to be marked correct. For these examples don't forget to simplify them and collect like terms on the numerator.
", "advice": "To add two algebraic fractions you use the same procedure as you would with numbers.
\nFor example: $\\frac{1}{x}+\\frac{1}{6x}$
\nThe simplest common denominator in this case is $6x$
\nTo get a single fraction we alter each fraction to get an equivalent one with the common denominator $\\frac{6}{6x}+\\frac{1}{6x}$
\nThen we combine the fractions by adding the top row together $\\frac{6+1}{6x}$
\nThe collect like terms if possible: $\\frac{7}{6x}$
\n\nSimilarly to subtract, you use a similar method to adding but to combine the fractions you subtract: $\\frac{6-1}{6x}$
\nThen collect like terms if possible: $\\frac{5}{6x}$
\n\nTo multiply algebraic fractions, you multiply the top and then multiply the bottom terms.
\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 fraction upside down and then multiply the fractions together.
\n$\\frac{1}{x} \\div\\frac{1}{6x}$
\n$=\\frac{1}{x} \\times\\frac{6x}{1}$
\n=6 (since the $x$ cancels out)
