May 29, 2017

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

To add these two fractions they must be over common denominators.

#5/(4x) + 1/(10x) => (color(red)(5)/ color(red)(5) xx 5/(4x)) + (color(blue)(2)/color(blue)(2) xx 1/(10x)) =>#

#25/(20x) + 2/(20x)#

Now, we can add the two fractions:

#25/(20x) + 2/(20x) => (25 + 2)/(20x) =>#

#27/(20x)#
