7x/x^4y^7 + 3/x^6y^2
Do i need to find the common denominator?

ONCE MORE, your ORIGINAL post: 7x/x^4y^7 + 3/x^6y^2 needs brackets: 7x / (x^4y^7) + 3 / (x^6y^2 ).Psychguy98 said:okay got that part, so what can i do with the 7x and 3?
RULE: x^a times x^b = x^(a+b) ; x^a divided by x^b = x^(a-b) ; tattoo that on your wrist :wink:Psychguy98 said:so x^2 and y^5 are our common denominators? How is that? because 6-4 = 2 and 7-2 = 5
