Answer:

The sum of 1/3x and 2/5x will be:

(1)/(3)x+(2)/(5)x=(11)/(15)x

Explanation:

Finding the sum of 1/3x and 2/5x.

i.e.

(1)/(3)x+(2)/(5)x

Factor out common term x

$(1)/(3)x+(2)/(5)x=x\left((1)/(3)+(2)/(5)\right)$

as

(1)/(3)+(2)/(5)=(5+6)/(15)=(11)/(15)

so the expression becomes

=(11)/(15)x

Therefore, the sum of 1/3x and 2/5x will be:

(1)/(3)x+(2)/(5)x=(11)/(15)x
