Answered by Chopsticks
i typed it wrong

2x/2x+1

Answered by Mishi Couture
x=0
Answered by Ms. Sue
Still -- I may be wrong -- but any number divided by the same number is 1 -- isn't it?

1 + 1 = 2
Answered by Chopsticks
oh u looked at the problem wrong. the 2x+1 is in the denominiator
Answered by Mishi Couture
huh? Do you have to find x?
but 2x/2x + 1 would equal 1 cause the terms "cancel out"
Answered by Reiny
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?
Answered by Chopsticks
2x/(2x+1) simplify it
Answered by Mishi Couture
yea..
so that would be 1
Answered by 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
Answered by Chopsticks
what if it was 2x/2x + 1

where the 2x+1 is combined under the denominator
Answered by Reiny
umhh, that is what I have been saying
