Do you just want this simplified instead? I ask because you have two variables a and c in an expression not an equation.

a + c/a = a2/a + c/a = (a2 + c)/a

(c2/a) ÷ ((a2 + c)/a = c2/a • (a/(a2 + c)) = (ac2)/(a•(a2 + c)) = c2/(a2 + c)


Then add two fractions by getting a common denominator.


2c2 + c2/(a2 + c) = 2c2(a2 + c)/(a2 + c) + c2/(a2 + c) = (2a2c2 + 2c3 + c2)/(a2 + c)
