Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newline25+9u5\frac{2}{5} + \frac{9u}{5}
  1. Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator.\newlineBoth fractions have the same denominator, which is 55. Therefore, we can add the numerators directly.
  2. Add numerators: Add the numerators. (2+9u)/5(2 + 9u)/5
  3. Combine terms in numerator: Combine the terms in the numerator.\newlineSince 22 and 9u9u do not have like terms, we simply write them together.\newline2+9u5\frac{2 + 9u}{5}
  4. Check for further simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further.\newlineThe numerator 2+9u2 + 9u and the denominator 55 do not have any common factors other than 11, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
