First you find the common deoninator.
Step 1: Reduce (simplify) entered fractions to lowest terms, if the case:Fraction: 5 / 6 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Fraction: 11 / 12 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Step 2: Calculate LCM (lowest common multiple) of the reduced fractions' denominators, it will be the common denominator of the compared fractions:Denominator 6, factored = 2 * 3
Denominator 12, factored = 22 * 3
LCM (6, 12) = 22 * 3 = 12Step 3: Calculate each fraction's expanding number (LCM divided by each fraction's denominator):For fraction: 5 / 6 is 12 : 6 = (22 * 3) : 6 = 2
For fraction: 11 / 12 is 12 : 12 = (22 * 3) : 12 = 1
Step 4: Expand fractions to bring them to the common denominator (LCM):5 / 6 = (2 * 5) / (2 * 6) = 10 / 12
11 / 12 = (1 * 11) / (1 * 12) = 11 / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠LON ≅ m∠M Property of Parallelogram; Opposite angles are congruent

m∠M = 118° Given

m∠LON = 118° Substitution

m∠OLN + m∠LNO + m∠LON = 180° Sum of angles in a triangle

m∠OLN + 118° + 22° = 180° Substitution

m∠OLN = 40° Algebra

I hope this helps!!!

What you have to note about solving inequality equations like this:

When you divide by a minus, you flip the sign in the inequality.
When there's an absolute value symbol, because whatever is inside could be positive or negative, you have to find values for each case like I've done.
