could someone please help me with math?

Question

Apply the distributive property (assume all variables are non zero):

ax(1/a+1/x)

 

i don't know how to distribute monomials. please help me

Answer 1

ax(1/a +1/x)=ax*(1/a) + ax*(1/x)

 

ax*(1/a) + ax*(1/x), a is cancelled in the first term and x is cancelled in the second term.

 

x + a is the simplified answer.
