Question Perform the operation and express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. (5)/(2x)+1

To perform the operation and express the answer as a single fraction in simplest form, we need to find a common denominator for the two terms.<br /><br />The common denominator for $\frac{5}{2x}$ and $1$ is $2x$.<br /><br />Rewriting the expression with the common denominator, we get:<br /><br />$\frac{5}{2x} + \frac{2x}{2x} = \frac{5 + 2x}{2x}$<br /><br />Therefore, the answer is $\frac{5 + 2x}{2x}$.
