① | Step 1: Write $ x+3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{11}{60} \cdot x+3 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{11}{60} \cdot \frac{x+3}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 11 \cdot \left( x+3 \right) }{ 60 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 11x+33 }{ 60 } \end{aligned} $$ |
