<h1 align="center">Fractions in Algebra</h1>
<p>We can add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions in algebra in the same way we do in simple arithmetic.</p>
<h2>Adding Fractions</h2>
<p>To <a href="../fractions_addition.html">add fractions</a> there is a simple rule:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/fractions-adding.gif" alt="adding fractions rule" width="245" height="53" /></p>
<p align="center">(See why this works on the <a href="../numbers/common-denominator.html">Common Denominator</a> page).</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: </h3>
<p class="center larger"> <span class="intbl">
<em>x</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span> + <span class="intbl">
<em>y</em>
<strong>5</strong>
</span> = <span class="intbl">
<em>(x)(5) + (2)(y)</em>
<strong>(2)(5)</strong>
</span> </p>
<p class="center larger"> = <span class="intbl">
<em>5x+2y</em>
<strong>10</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: </h3>
<p class="center larger"> <span class="intbl">
<em>x + 4</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span> + <span class="intbl">
<em>x &minus; 3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> = <span class="intbl">
<em>(x+4)(4) + (3)(x&minus;3)</em>
<strong>(3)(4)</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center larger"> = <span class="intbl">
<em>4x+16 + 3x&minus;9</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center larger"> = <span class="intbl">
<em>7x+7</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<h2>Subtracting Fractions</h2>
<p><a href="../fractions_subtraction.html">Subtracting fractions</a> is very similar, except that the + is now &minus;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/fractions-subtracting.gif" alt="subtracting fractions" width="244" height="56" /></p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: </h3>
<p class="center larger"> <span class="intbl">
<em>x + 2</em>
<strong>x</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&minus;&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>x</em>
<strong>x &minus; 2</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>(x+2)(x&minus;2) &minus; (x)(x)</em>
<strong>x(x&minus;2)</strong>
</span> &nbsp;</p>
<p class="center larger">=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>(x<sup>2 </sup>&minus; 2<sup>2</sup>) &minus; x<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>x<sup>2</sup> &minus; 2x</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center larger">=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>&minus;4</em>
<strong>x<sup>2</sup> &minus; 2x</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Multiplying Fractions</h2>
<p><a href="../fractions_multiplication.html">Multiplying fractions</a> is the easiest one of all, just multiply the tops together, and the bottoms together:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/fractions-multiplying.gif" alt="Multiplying Fractions Rule" width="184" height="49" /></p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: </h3>
<p class="center larger"> <span class="intbl">
<em>3x</em>
<strong>x&minus;2</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&times;&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>x</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>(3x)(x)</em>
<strong>3(x&minus;2)</strong>
</span> &nbsp;</p>
<p class="center larger">=&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>3x<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>3(x&minus;2)</strong>
</span> &nbsp;</p>
<p class="center larger">=&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>x<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>x&minus;2</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<h2>Dividing Fractions</h2>
<p>To <a href="../fractions_division.html">divide fractions</a>, first &quot;flip&quot; the fraction we want to divide by, then use the same method as for multiplying:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/fractions-divide.gif" alt="divide fractions" width="326" height="53" /></p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: </h3>
<div class="clear">
<div class="example2">
<p class="example2 center larger"> <span class="intbl">
<em>3y<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>x+1</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&divide;&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>y</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>3y<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>x+1</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&times;&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>y</strong>
</span> &nbsp;</p>
<p class="center larger">= <span class="intbl">
<em>(3y<sup>2</sup>)(2)</em>
<strong>(x+1)(y)</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center larger">= <span class="intbl">
<em>6y<sup>2</sup></em>
<strong>(x+1)(y)</strong>
