| ① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{2x} + \color{blue}{2x} = \color{blue}{4x} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{15}{x} $ by $ 2 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 30 }{ x } $. Step 1: Write $ 2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{15}{x} \cdot 2 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{15}{x} \cdot \frac{2}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 15 \cdot 2 }{ x \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 30 }{ x } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Subtract $ \dfrac{30}{x} $ from $ 4x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 4x^2-30 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 4x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Add $ \dfrac{4x^2-30}{x} $ and $ 15x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 19x^2-30 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 15x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ⑤ | Add $ \dfrac{19x^2-30}{x} $ and $ 50 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 19x^2+50x-30 } }{ x }$. Step 1: Write $ 50 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
