    I keep seeing comments about how the problem could be solved quicker. What these people don't understand is that it is a lesson, not just a problem. Instruction is provided on a principle of math plus a bit of insight on related topics. Those who cannot grasp this need to think about it awhile.

      he could of succinctly done this lesson in less than 5 minutes is the point. We didn't need all the self promotion and the "oh you get a smiley face"
      example:
      we are adding so we cannot cancel yet, so lets rewrite the problem as (x/x) + (Y/x) Bobs your uncle now you can simplify (x/x) down to just 1. after all 5/5 is 1 6/6 is 1 7/7 is 1 etc etc. Now second part we can't simplify so it stays y/x. so the answer is c:) 1 + (y/x)

    The simple rule that applies is: (a + b)/c = a/c + b/c. Of course, the opposite is also true.

      It is actually y/x+1 or 1+(y/x) or (1/1)+(y/x). 1+y/x is the same as (1+y)/X , while PEMDAS assumes y/x+1 is not y/(x+1).

    (X+Y)/X = (X/X)+(Y/X) = 1+ (Y/X) or Y/X +1. 1+Y/X is not the same as 1+ (Y/X) because PEMDAS makes it (1+Y)/X. In other words, it is actually none of the above.
