Question

3. Write the expression as a simplified rational expression. Show your work.

Answer:
5/1/6+ 1/X + 1

Answer 1

(1/x)+31

Explanation:

To simplify the expression

5/(1/6) + 1/X + 1,

we need to first simplify the fraction 5/(1/6):

5/(1/6) = 5 * 6/1 = 30

Now we can substitute this value back into the expression:

30 + 1/X + 1

To combine the last two terms, we need to find a common denominator, which is X:

30X/X + 1/X + X/X

Simplifying the numerator:

30X + 1 + X

Combining like terms:31X + 1

so the simplified rational expression is (1/x)+31
