Beyond the Answer

To simplify \( \frac{x}{4}+\frac{3}{7} \), we first find a common denominator, which is 28. Rewrite the fractions: \( \frac{7x}{28} + \frac{12}{28} = \frac{7x + 12}{28} \). For \( \frac{2x}{4+x} + \frac{x}{3} \), the common denominator is \( 3(4+x) \). Rewriting gives \( \frac{6x}{3(4+x)} + \frac{x(4+x)}{3(4+x)} = \frac{6x + 4x + x^2}{3(4+x)} = \frac{x^2 + 10x}{3(4+x)} \). In the case of \( \frac{a+1}{b} \times \frac{b^2}{a^2-1} \), note that \( a^2 - 1 = (a-1)(a+1) \). This allows cancellation of \( a+1 \) from the numerator and denominator, yielding \( \frac{b^2}{b(a-1)} = \frac{b}{a-1} \) after reducing. Who knew fractions could be such a puzzle and a joy at the same time? Just remember to approach them systematically, and they can turn into a delightful little dance!
