| ① | Subtract $11x$ from $ \dfrac{x^2-9x+8}{x^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -11x^3+x^2-9x+8 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 11x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{-11x^3+x^2-9x+8}{x^2} $ and $ 24 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -11x^3+25x^2-9x+8 } }{ x^2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 24 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
