Answer:

the answer of this qst is A

Applying the least common multiple, the fraction is rewritten as

[tex]\frac{4200(x+100)}{x(x+100)} + \frac{4200x}{x(x+100)}[/tex]

Which is option A.

---------------------------------------

The fraction given is:

[tex]\frac{4200}{x} + \frac{4200}{x + 100}[/tex]

When two fractions with different denominators are added, the first step is finding the least common multiple of the denominators. The lcm of x and x + 100 is x(x + 100), thus we use it to factor the fraction.

[tex]\frac{4200}{x} + \frac{4200}{x + 100} = \frac{4200\frac{x(x+100)}{x}}{x(x+100)} + \frac{4200\frac{x(x+100)}{x+100}}{x(x+100)} = \frac{4200(x+100)}{x(x+100)} + \frac{4200x}{x(x+100)}[/tex]

Which is option A.
