| ① | Multiply $30$ by $ \dfrac{x}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 30x }{ x } $. Step 1: Write $ 30 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 30 \cdot \frac{x}{x} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{30}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x}{x} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 30 \cdot x }{ 1 \cdot x } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 30x }{ x } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Subtract $ \dfrac{30x}{x} $ from $ 10x^2 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 10x^3-30x } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 10x^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Subtract $3$ from $ \dfrac{10x^3-30x}{x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 10x^3-33x } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
