Can you show me hoe to work this problem

Question

Algebra 2+1/x+1/x

Answer 1

Do not work this problem with a hoe.  Work it by Algebra:

 

2+1/x+1/x = 2 + 2/x by combining the second and third terms (just add their numerators, since their denominators are identical).

 

Now you could also use a common denominator for the answer; in this form, the answer is

(2x + 2) / x.
