-x + 4 = 2x + 1
add x to both sides
4 = 3x + 1
subtract 1 from both sides
3 = 3x
dived 3 from both sides
1 = x
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
Question 1: h+4= how many kids in history class.
I think this cause it says to represent the # of kids in the English class with the varible h. there are 4 more kids in the history class for you just add four to the English class( h). this may be wrong tho
question 2: 57+4= 61.
you just input the 57 where the h (# of kids in English class) cause it need to figure out how many are in history and their are just four more kids. I think
also sorry if I suck at explaining things, this makes sorta sense
