Q=

x-5 + 3x+11
____ _______
2x+3 2x+3

Solution :-

SInce there is a common denominator for both expressions : .

It bcomes Single

= x-5+3x+11
_________
2x+3

(add the like terms)

4x+6
____
2x+3

(Take 2 common in the numerator)

2(2x+3)
_______
2x+3

=2

After cancelling 2x+3 from abv and below u get the answer as 2 .

More generally...The above answer only works if the two expressions have the same denominator. What happens if they're not the same? Exactly the same thing as when you're adding fractions (like 3/4 + 2/5). You find a common denominator. Any common multiple will do.

Example:

2x+3 7
--------------- + -----------------
(2x-5)(x+6) (2x-5)(x+4)

You could find a common denominator just by multiplying the two denominators together. Then the denominator would be (2x-5)^2 * (x+6) * (x+4). But, just as with fractions, you can make it easier by using the lowest common multiple instead of the product of the denominators. In this case, (2x-5) * (x+6) * (x+4). Now write the fractions using this denominator:

(2x+3)(x+4) 7(x+6)
---------------------- + ----------------------
(2x-5)(x+6)(x+4) (2x-5)(x+4)(x+6)

=

2x^2 + 11x + 12 7x+42
---------------------- + ----------------------
(2x-5)(x+6)(x+4) (2x-5)(x+4)(x+6)

Then add them as in the answer above:

(2x^2 + 11x + 12) + (7x+42)
--------------------------------------------
(2x-5)(x+6)(x+4)

=

2x^2 + 18x + 54
----------------------
(2x-5)(x+6)(x+4)

If you want, you can rewrite this one as

2(x^2 + 9x + 27)
----------------------
(2x-5)(x+6)(x+4)

Why​ can't the denominators of rational expressions be​ zero How can we find the domain of a rational​ function?

Rational expressions are fractions and are therefore undefined if the denominator is​ zero; the domain of a rational function is all real numbers except those that make the denominator of the related rational expression equal to 0. If a denominator contains​ variables, set it equal to zero and solve.


How do you solve problems involve rational algebraic expressions?

To solve problems involving rational algebraic expressions, first, identify any restrictions by determining values that make the denominator zero. Next, simplify the expression by factoring and reducing common factors. If the problem involves equations, cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions, then solve for the variable. Finally, check your solutions against the restrictions to ensure they are valid.
