How to simplify algebraic expression by combining the like terms 1/3+2x+1/2

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The like terms that you want to combine is 1/3 and 1/2. You need a common denominator which would be 6

`(1)/(3)` =
`(2)/(6)`

`(1)/(2)` =
`(3)/(6)`

2x +
`(2)/(6)` +
`(3)/(6)`

2x +
`(5)/(6)` You cannot combine this with the 2 because the 2 is multiplied by x.
