What is the quotient of the rational expression below? 3x+1/x+8 ÷ x-7/5x

8x^2 + 45/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

write the division as a fraction

3x+ 1/x + 8/x - 7/5x

using a=a/1, convert the expression into a fraction

3x/1 - 7/5x

calculate the product

3x/1 - 7x/5

expand the fraction to get the least common denominator

5 x 3x/ 5 x 1   -  7x/5

multiply the numbers

15x/5   -   7x/5

write all numerators above the common denominator

15x - 7x/5

collect like terms

8x/5

write the factor as a product

8/5 x + 1/x + 8/x

calculate the product

8x/5 + 5 x 1/5x + 5 x 8/5x

expand the fraction to get the least common denominator

X  x  8x/X  x  5 + 5/5x + 5 x 8/5x

multiply the numbers

X  x  8x/X  x  5 + 5/5x + 40/5x

calculate the product

8x^2/5x + 5/5x +40/5x

write all numerators above the common denominator

8x^2 + 5 + 40/5x

add the numbers and that's the answer

8x^2 + 45/5x

(that was l o n g)

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
