423
STEP
2
:
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 423 as the denominator :
2x + 5 (2x + 5) • 423
2x + 5 = —————— = ——————————————
1 423
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(2x+5) • 423 + 8 846x + 2123
———————————————— = ———————————
423 423
Final result :
846x + 2123
———————————
423
