Simplify 2x+x/y

$2 x + \frac{x}{y}$

Step 1

To write $2 x$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{y}{y}$ .

$\frac{2 x y}{y} + \frac{x}{y}$

Step 2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{2 x y + x}{y}$

Step 3

Factor $x$ out of $2 x y + x$ .

Factor $x$ out of $2 x y$ .

$\frac{x (2 y) + x}{y}$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{x (2 y) + x^{1}}{y}$

Factor $x$ out of $x^{1}$ .

$\frac{x (2 y) + x \cdot 1}{y}$

Factor $x$ out of $x (2 y) + x \cdot 1$ .

$\frac{x (2 y + 1)}{y}$
