The given fractions are,


(x^2)/(2x-1),\text{ }(x+1)/(x+13)

The LCD of fractions is the least common multiple of the denominators.

So, the LCD of the above fractions is,


(2x-1)(x+13)

Multiplying the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by a common term does not change the fraction.

So, the first fraction can be expressed in terms of the LCD as,


(x^2)/(2x-1)=(x^2(x+13))/((2x-1)(x+13))

The second fraction can be expressed in terms of the LCD as,


\frac{x+1_{}^{}}{x+13}=((x+1)(2x-1))/((2x-1)(x+13))
