| ① | Multiply $9$ by $ \dfrac{x^2}{2x+1} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 9x^2 }{ 2x+1 } $. Step 1: Write $ 9 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 9 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2x+1} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{9}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2x+1} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 9 \cdot x^2 }{ 1 \cdot \left( 2x+1 \right) } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 9x^2 }{ 2x+1 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{4x^2-1}{3x} $ and $ \dfrac{9x^2}{2x+1} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 35x^3+4x^2-2x-1 } }{ 6x^2+3x }$. To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
