Add...
8 + (x-1) / (x+4)
put it all over (x+4) and you have
(8(x+4) + (x-1))/(x+4) = (9x+31)/(x+4)
Thank you, it helps to know how...
To add the expression 8 + (x - 1) / (x + 4), we first need to simplify it.
To do so, we follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS) to ensure the correct simplification.
1. First, we address the parentheses, so we rewrite the expression as 8 + (x - 1) / (x + 4).
2. Next, we focus on the numerator (x - 1) and the denominator (x + 4).
3. We cannot directly simplify (x - 1) / (x + 4), so we leave it as it is for now.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 8 + (x - 1) / (x + 4).
