| ① | Multiply $4$ by $ \dfrac{x}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 4x }{ 2 } $. Step 1: Write $ 4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 4 \cdot \frac{x}{2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{4}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x}{2} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 4 \cdot x }{ 1 \cdot 2 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 4x }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{6}{10x^2+10x} $ and $ \dfrac{4x}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 40x^3+40x^2+12 } }{ 20x^2+20x }$. To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
