Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Express

$\simplify[std]{{a}x+{b1} } +\simplify[std]{ ({c}x+{b2}) / ({a2}x + {d})}$ as a single fraction.

Input the fraction here: Unnamed gap.

Advice

The formula for adding these expressions is:

$\simplify[std]{a + (c / d) = (ad + c) / d}$

and for this exercise we have $\simplify{a={b1}}$ , $\simplify{c={c}x+{b2}}$ , $\simplify{d={a2}x+{d}}$ .

Hence we have:

$\begin{eqnarray*} \simplify[std]{{b1} } +\simplify[std]{ ({c}x+{b2}) / ({a2}x + {d})} &=& \simplify[basic,unitFactor]{(({b1}) * ({a2}*x + {d}) + ({c}x+{b2}) ) / ( ({a2}*x + {d}))}\\ &=&\simplify[std]{ (({b1*a2}x+{b1*d})+{c}x+{b2}) / ( ({a2}*x + {d}))}\\&=&\simplify[std]{ ( {b1*a2+ c }x+{b1*d+b2}) / (({a2}*x + {d}))}\end{eqnarray*}$
