| $$ \begin{aligned}\frac{5}{p}+\frac{6}{p}+1& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}\frac{11}{p}+1 \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}\frac{p+11}{p}\end{aligned} $$ | |
| ① | Add $ \dfrac{5}{p} $ and $ \dfrac{6}{p} $ to get $ \dfrac{11}{p} $. To add expressions with the same denominators, we add the numerators and write the result over the common denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{p} + \frac{6}{p} & = \frac{5}{\color{blue}{p}} + \frac{6}{\color{blue}{p}} =\frac{ 5 + 6 }{ \color{blue}{ p }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{11}{p} \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{11}{p} $ and $ 1 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ p+11 } }{ p }$. Step 1: Write $ 1 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
