Practice with adding, subtracting and dividing basic algebraic fractions

Express the following as a single fraction.

\n

You 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.

\n

For example: $\\frac{1}{x}+\\frac{1}{6x}$

\n

The simplest common denominator in this case is $6x$

\n

To get a single fraction we alter each fraction to get an equivalent one with the common denominator $\\frac{6}{6x}+\\frac{1}{6x}$

\n

Then we combine the fractions by adding the top row together $\\frac{6+1}{6x}$

\n

The collect like terms if possible: $\\frac{7}{6x}$

\n

\n

Similarly to subtract, you use a similar method to adding but to combine the fractions you subtract: $\\frac{6-1}{6x}$

\n

Then collect like terms if possible: $\\frac{5}{6x}$

\n

\n

To 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

\n

To 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)
