Question

Combine as indicated by the signs. 4+a/a-3 + 4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{29a-24}{5(a-3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

The problem is an addition one with directed signs, therefore:

$4 + \frac{a}{a-3} + \frac{4}{5}$

the lowest common denominator is the product of 5 and (a - 3)

This gives:

$\frac{4*5(a-3)+a(5)+4(a-3)}{5(a-3)}$

solving and opening parentheses:

$\frac{20a-12+5a+4a-12}{5(a-3)}\\= \frac{29a-24}{5(a-3)}$
