Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $3$ by $8$ .

$\frac{11}{4} c + \frac{24 + 1}{8} c + 7$

Add $24$ and $1$ .

$\frac{11}{4} c + \frac{25}{8} c + 7$

Step 3

Simplify each term.

Combine $\frac{11}{4}$ and $c$ .

$\frac{11 c}{4} + \frac{25}{8} c + 7$

Combine $\frac{25}{8}$ and $c$ .

$\frac{11 c}{4} + \frac{25 c}{8} + 7$

Step 4

To write $\frac{11 c}{4}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{11 c}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{2} + \frac{25 c}{8} + 7$

Step 5

Write each expression with a common denominator of $8$ , by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of $1$ .

Multiply $\frac{11 c}{4}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{11 c \cdot 2}{4 \cdot 2} + \frac{25 c}{8} + 7$

Multiply $4$ by $2$ .

$\frac{11 c \cdot 2}{8} + \frac{25 c}{8} + 7$

Step 6

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{11 c \cdot 2 + 25 c}{8} + 7$

Step 7

Simplify each term.

Simplify the numerator.

Factor $c$ out of $11 c \cdot 2 + 25 c$ .

Factor $c$ out of $11 c \cdot 2$ .

$\frac{c (11 \cdot 2) + 25 c}{8} + 7$

Factor $c$ out of $25 c$ .

$\frac{c (11 \cdot 2) + c \cdot 25}{8} + 7$

Factor $c$ out of $c (11 \cdot 2) + c \cdot 25$ .

$\frac{c (11 \cdot 2 + 25)}{8} + 7$
