Question

find the value of x÷x +x+1 = 34÷15

Answer 1

34 Simplify —— 15 Equation at the end of step  1  : 1 34 (x + —) - —— = 0 x 15 Step  2  : 1 Simplify — x Equation at the end of step  2  : 1 34 (x + —) - —— = 0 x 15 Step  3  :Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole 

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  x  as the denominator :

x x • x x = — = ————— 1 x

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 :

 3.2       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:

x • x + 1 x2 + 1 ————————— = —————— x x Equation at the end of step  3  : (x2 + 1) 34 ———————— - —— = 0 x 15
