| ① | Multiply $10$ by $ \dfrac{u}{3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 10u }{ 3 } $. Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 10 \cdot \frac{u}{3} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{u}{3} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10 \cdot u }{ 1 \cdot 3 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10u }{ 3 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $4u-3$ and $ \dfrac{10u}{3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 22u-9 } }{ 3 }$. Step 1: Write $ 4u-3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
