The common multiple for 1/2 1/4 1/6 1/3 and 1/5 would be 60:
2 x 30 = 60
3 x 20 = 60
4 x 15 = 60
5 x 12 = 60
6 x 10 = 60
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
" 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:
If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as: " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:
4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;
to get: 6x = 12 ;
____________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;
to get: x = 2 .

Answer: The number is: "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;
Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;
→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??
→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;
→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

The factored form of an equation is the simplest form of the equation that is obtained by factoring out a common variable or constant from multiple terms. Many types of polynomials are presentable in factored form, but the more terms an equation contains, the more difficult it is to find common factors.
It has an infinite amount of solutions.
Explanation:
d-3 = -3+d which can be arranged as: d-3=d-3
Since they are equal to each other, no matter what number you input, your solution will be the same which means that there are an infinite amount of solutions. Let’s put this to the test and put in 5 for d. 5-3=5-3 is 2=2. They are equal to each other which means: infinite solution.
