| ① | Subtract $ \dfrac{63}{x} $ from $ x^2+2x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ x^3+2x^2-63 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ x^2+2x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{x^3+2x^2-63}{x} $ and $ 9 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ x^3+2x^2+9x-63 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 9 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
