Doesn't (2x/2x) = 1??
Chopsticks
i typed it wrong
2x/2x+1
2x/2x+1
Mishi Couture
x=0
Ms. Sue
Still -- I may be wrong -- but any number divided by the same number is 1 -- isn't it?
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 1 = 2
Chopsticks
oh u looked at the problem wrong. the 2x+1 is in the denominiator
Mishi Couture
huh? Do you have to find x?
but 2x/2x + 1 would equal 1 cause the terms "cancel out"

2x/2x+1 is the same as (2x/2x) + 1
did you mean 2x/(2x + 1) ?
If so, what do you want done with it?

2x/(2x+1) simplify it
Mishi Couture
yea..
so that would be 1
so that would be 1
Reiny
2x/(2x+1) does not simplify any more.
no matter what x you choose, the numerator is an even number and the denominator is the next number, which would then be odd.
Such a fraction does not reduce further.
e.g. 2/5, 10,11, etc

what if it was 2x/2x + 1
where the 2x+1 is combined under the denominator

umhh, that is what I have been saying
