I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)
so we find the factors and include all of them so like this
15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2
so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120
the LCM is 120
so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120
add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120
Well, solve for x.
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
So, there is only one solution: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the better buy, we must find the cheaper unit price or price per gallon. To find the price per gallon, divide the cost by the number of gallons.
Mary
Mary bought 4 gallons for $11.
The price is $11 and the gallons are 4.
Jill
Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $7.25
The price is $7.25 and the gallons are 2.5
Better buy
Mary paid $2.75 per gallon and Jill paid $2.90 per gallon. 2.75 is less than 2.90, so Mary had the better buy.
