Do you remember that we cannot add fractions when they have unlike denominators? We can onyl add fractions as long as they have the same denominator!
So here's the big idea: fractions must have the same denominator.
If we multiply the first fraction by 2, then both fractions will have the same denominator. *
* <em>Why 2??</em>
<em />
- Because:
We need to find the least common multiple of 3 and 6, which is 6. Next, what should 3 be multiplied by to result in 6? That's right, 2.
Also, we can only multiply the denominator by 2 as long as we multiply the numerator by 2!
So that's why we multiply the whole fraction by 2

Hope that helped
Isolate the variable by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -4x = -1. multiply both sides by -1 to get 4x = 1. divide both sides by 4 to get x = 1/4.
-⅔ (6x + 9) = 18
Apply distributive property. Multipy -⅔ to 6x and 9.
-4x - 6 = 18
Add 6 to both sides so -4x can be alone.
-4x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6
-4x = 24
To get x alone, divide both sides by -4.
-4/-4x = 24/-4
x = -6
x = -6 is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more help or if I got something wrong.
$57.18 + 256.79 = 313.97
313.97 - 68.42 = 245.55
245.55 - 50.00 = 195.55
195.55 - 31.06 = 164.49
that’s your answer
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Miami rainfall: 1.61 +2.24 +2.99 +3.15 +5.35 + 9.68 = 25.02
Tampa rainfall: 2.24 +2.8 +3.03 + 2.05 + 2.09 + 6.69 = 18.9
25.02 - 18.9 = 6.12
Miami gets more rainfall by 6.12 more inches
Have a great day! :)
