| ① | Divide $ \dfrac{x}{6} $ by $ x $ to get $ \dfrac{1}{6} $. Step 1: To divide rational expressions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Step 2: Cancel $ \color{blue}{ x } $ in first and second fraction. Step 3: Multiply numerators and denominators. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{ \frac{x}{6} }{x} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{x}{6} \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{\color{blue}{x}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{6} \cdot \frac{1}{\color{blue}{1}} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{1}{6} \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{14}{5} $ by $ \dfrac{1}{6} $ to get $ \dfrac{7}{15} $. Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 2: Cancel down by $ \color{blue}{2} $ $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{14}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{6} = \frac{14 : \color{blue}{2}}{30 : \color{blue}{2}}= \frac{7}{15} \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Add $7x$ and $ \dfrac{7}{15} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 105x+7 } }{ 15 }$. Step 1: Write $ 7x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Add $ \dfrac{105x+7}{15} $ and $ 4 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 105x+67 } }{ 15 }$. Step 1: Write $ 4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
