Question

Please solve this question, i have exams tommorow :(​

Answer 1

Answer is 2xy/ab

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1: find the the common denominator

In this case the common denominator is 3ab so the equation is rewritten as xy+5xy/3ab

Step 2: add like terms
If like terms are added the new equation is 6xy/3ab since xy+5xy=6xy

Step 3: simplify
To simplify you must find a least common factor which is this case is 3 so therefore when 3 is factored from 6xy/3ab the new equation is 2xy/ab

Answer 2

2xy/ ( ab)

Step-by-step explanation:

xy/ ( 3ab) + 5xy/(3ab)

Since the denominator is the same, we can add the numerators

xy+5xy = 6xy

6xy/ (3ab)

We can simplify 6/3 = 2

2xy/ ( ab)
