Solve 2+4/x-1

$$2 + \frac { 4 } { x - 1 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{x-1}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 2 times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.

$$\frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{x-1}+\frac{4}{x-1}$$

Since \frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{x-1} and \frac{4}{x-1} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2\left(x-1\right)+4}{x-1}$$

Do the multiplications in 2\left(x-1\right)+4.

$$\frac{2x-2+4}{x-1}$$

Combine like terms in 2x-2+4.

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

Factor

$$\frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{x-1}$$
