Question

What is the sum? x/x+3 + 3/x+3 + 2/x+3

Answer 1

(x + 5)/(x + 3)

Explanation:

I take all three fractions have a denominator of x + 3. If that is correct, then the question should be written as

x/(x + 3) + 3/(x + 3) + 2/(x + 3)

(x + 3 + 2)/ (x + 3)

(x + 5)/(x + 3)

That's the answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`(x+5)/(x+3)`

Explanation:

The problem gives you the following expression:

`(x)/(x+3)+(3)/(x+3)+(2)/(x+3)`

Therefore, to add the fractions with equal denominator, you must rewrite the denominator (x+3) and add the numerators of each one of the fractions.

Then, keeping the above on mind, you obtain the sum shown below (You must remember to add the like terms):

`(x+3+2)/(x+3)=(x+5)/(x+3)`
