Notes

    1. A complex fraction can have fractions in the numerator, denominator, or both
    1. 'x' is a variable
    2. 35 divided by x+2 is a fraction in the numerator
    3. -63 divided by x-2 is a fraction in the denominator
    1. Since there is a fraction in the numerator, the entire fraction already qualifies as a complex fraction
    1. The fraction in the denominator also makes the entire fraction a complex fraction
    1. We only needed either the numerator or denominator to contain a fraction for this to be a complex fraction
