Question

Divide & Simplify
20x + 6 divided by 5x

Answer 1

(100x² + 6) / (5x)

Explanation:

20x + 6 ÷ 5x

Order of operations says to multiply or divide before adding/subtracting.

So we simplify the above statement to:

`20x+(6)/(5x)`

To simplify even further, we need to find a common denominator for the two terms and then add them together.

`(100x^(2) )/(5x) + (6)/(5x)`

Notice that I've multiplied the first term by 5x/5x, to get a common denominator without changing the value of 20x.

So now we add the two terms and our answer is:

`(100x^(2)+6 )/(5x)`
