Simplify the sum. 4/(x + 3) + 8/x(x + 3)
To simplify the sum, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions:
4/(x + 3) + 8/x(x + 3)
First, multiply the first fraction by x/x to get a common denominator:
4x/(x(x + 3)) + 8/x(x + 3)
Now that we have a common denominator, we can combine the fractions:
(4x + 8)/(x(x + 3))
This is the simplified form of the original sum.
