Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
2x - 12 = -52
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 12 on both sides: 2x = -40
- Divide 2 on both sides: x = -20
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 2(-20) - 12 = -52
- Multiply: -40 - 12 = -52
- Subtract: -52 = -52
Here we see that -52 does indeed equal -52.
∴ x = -20 is the solution to the equation.
Answer:
Find the LCD of the first two, then the LCD of that and the third one.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can do it by finding the LCD of two of the denominators, then the LCD of that and the third denominator.
Or, you can factor each of the denominators and find their LCM by multiplying the unique factors to their highest powers.
___
<u>Example:</u>
1/21 + 1/35 + 1/45
The LCD of 1/21 and 1/35 is (21·35)/5 = 105. The LCD of 1/105 and 1/45 is ...
(105·45)/15 = 315
__
Using factoring ...
- 21 = 3·7
- 35 = 5·7
- 45 = 3²·5
LCD = 3²·5·7 = 315
