The mistake he makes is by saying 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/8

The denominators stay the same when adding fractions, and the denominators must be the same value.

So instead, he should have 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 = 1

Overall, 5 3/4 + 2 1/4 = 5+2+1 = 8

(2+x)dy/dx=3y need help

den301095 [7]

$(2+x) \frac{dy}{dx} =3y$
$\frac{1}{3y} dy= \frac{1}{2+x} dx$
$\int { \frac{1}{3y} } \, dy = \int { \frac{1}{2+x} } \, dx$
$\frac{1}{3}\ln(3y) = \ln(2+x) + C$
(raise both to the power e): $e^{ \frac{1}{3}\ln(3y)}=e^{\ln(k(2+x))}$
$(3y)^ \frac{1}{3} =k(2+x)$
$3y=k(2+x)^3$
$y= k(2+x)^3$
