Question

12x + 4 divided by 4 plus 20x + 5 divided by 5

Answer 1

12x + 4 ➗ 4 + 20x + 5 ➗ 5

1. PEMDAS (order of operations) solve the division problems

(4 divided by 4 & 5 divided by 5)
12x + 1 + 20x + 1

2. Swap around the order of operations as commutative property states that you can swap the order of an addition problem and get the same answer.

12x + 20x + 1 + 1

3. Add like terms

32x + 2

This is the most simplified answer you could get as you can not add 32x and 2 as they are not like terms.
