Solve 5/10+2/x

$$\frac{ 5 }{ 10 } + \frac{ 2 }{ x }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{x}$$

Short Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{x}$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2 and x is 2x. Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{x}{x}. Multiply \frac{2}{x} times \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{x}{2x}+\frac{2\times 2}{2x}$$

Since \frac{x}{2x} and \frac{2\times 2}{2x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{x+2\times 2}{2x}$$

Do the multiplications in x+2\times 2.

$$\frac{x+4}{2x}$$

Factor

$$\frac{x+4}{2x}$$
