Question

Solve a+11/3a-5+a-21/3a-5

Answer 1

Answer:
`\bold{(2(a-5))/(3a-5)}`

Explanation:

You can't actually "solve" this because there is no equation. But you can simplify the expression.

`(a+11)/(3a-5)+(a-21)/(3a-5)\\\\\text{Since they already have the same denominator, we can add the numerators:}\\(a+11+a-21)/(3a-5)=(2a-10)/(3a-5)=(2(a-5))/(3a-5)\\\\\text{Since there are no common factors to cancel out, this is simplified.}`
