If you know the LCM then you divide it by the other number.
If you don't already know it: is 8 a factor of 9 or do they have equal factors? No.
Is 9 a factor of 8 or do they have equal factors? No.
The easy way: multiply 8 by 9 to get LCM :)
Answer:
x = 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
By combining like terms, you get 8x = 10.
Divide the 8 on both sides of the equation.
x = 10/8
This, however, can be simplified by dividing by 2. This ultimately gives us 5/4.
5 and 5/10s sounds like 5.5 so I'd do 5.5+0.02=5.52
