To turn the expression \( (14x^2 - 3x + 2.25) + (0.75x^2 + 2x - 14) \) into an entirely fractional form, we can rewrite the decimal numbers as fractions.
Step 1: Replace Decimals with Fractions
Replace 2.25 and 0.75 with their fractional equivalents:
- \(2.25 = \frac{9}{4}\)
- \(0.75 = \frac{3}{4}\)
Step 2: Rewrite the Expression
Now, rewrite the original expression using these fractions:
\[
\left(14x^2 - 3x + \frac{9}{4}\right) + \left(\frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 14\right)
\]
Step 3: Combine Like Terms
-
Combine the \(x^2\) terms:
\[
14x^2 + \frac{3}{4}x^2 = \frac{56}{4}x^2 + \frac{3}{4}x^2 = \frac{59}{4}x^2
\]
-
Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
-3x + 2x = -1x = -x
\]
-
Combine the constant terms:
\[
\frac{9}{4} - 14 = \frac{9}{4} - \frac{56}{4} = \frac{9 - 56}{4} = \frac{-47}{4}
\]
Final Expression
Putting everything together, we have:
\[
\frac{59}{4}x^2 - x - \frac{47}{4}
\]
Step 4: Express the Entire Expression as a Single Fraction
If you want the entire expression as a single fraction, you can find a common denominator (which is 4):
\[
\frac{59}{4}x^2 - x - \frac{47}{4} = \frac{59}{4}x^2 - \frac{4x}{4} - \frac{47}{4}
\]
Combining them, we get:
\[
\frac{59x^2 - 4x - 47}{4}
\]
Final Answer
So, the completely fractional form of the expression is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{59x^2 - 4x - 47}{4}}
\]
