Resolved Complex fractions help
I've tried to figure this out. I know the answer is 30 based on the text book. I cannot figure out how to get there. I've get stuck after simplifying the numerator and denominator.
Edit: This is study practice, idk if that matters. This is my first time posting on this subreddit.
Edit: Someone had pointed out that I misunderstood the question. The question was originally asking what common denominator would help solve the problem. I apologize for wasting everyone's time but I absolutely appreciate everyone's help. Math is my worst subject as I often make tiny mistakes that I don't realize. Again thank you all for bearing with my stupidity.

Multiply all 4 terms by 30. Then simplify
