| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{4}{7} $ by $ x^2 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 4x^2 }{ 7 } $. Step 1: Write $ x^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{7} \cdot x^2 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{4}{7} \cdot \frac{x^2}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 4 \cdot x^2 }{ 7 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 4x^2 }{ 7 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $x$ and $ \dfrac{4x^2}{7} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 4x^2+7x } }{ 7 }$. Step 1: Write $ x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Add $ \dfrac{4x^2+7x}{7} $ and $ 28x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 4x^2+203x } }{ 7 }$. Step 1: Write $ 28x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
