Question

which expression is equivalent to 3x divided by x +1

Answer 1

One plus three equals four.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3x}{x^{2}+2x+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Which expression is equivalent to 3x/x+1 divided by x+1.

$(\frac{3x}{x+1}) \div (x+1)$

If we solve this expression we have:

$(\frac{3x}{x+1}) \times \frac{1}{(x+1)}=\frac{3x}{(x+1)^{2} }$

Solving the squared power of the sum, we have:

$\frac{3x}{(x+1)^{2} }=\frac{3x}{x^{2}+2x+1}$

Therefore the equivalent expression is:

$\frac{3x}{x^{2}+2x+1}$
