—— - —
15 3
Step 2 :

Simplify ——
15
Equation at the end of step 2 :

14 1
—— - —
15 3
Step 3 :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple

The left denominator is : 15

The right denominator is : 3

Number of times each prime factor
appears in the factorization of:
Prime
Factor Left
Denominator Right
Denominator L.C.M = Max
{Left,Right}
3 1 1 1
5 1 0 1
Product of all
Prime Factors 15 3 15

Least Common Multiple:
15

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno

Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 5


Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

L. Mult. • L. Num. 14
—————————————————— = ——
L.C.M 15

R. Mult. • R. Num. 5
—————————————————— = ——
L.C.M 15
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

14 - (5) 3
———————— = —
15 5
Final result :

3
— = 0.60000

the sum of two numbers is 9. if one number is subtracted from the other, the result is 3. find the numbers
irakobra [83]
X, y - the numbers

The sum of the two numbers is 9.
x+y=9

If one number is subtracted from the other, the result is 3.
x-y=3

Solve the system of equations:
x+y=9 \\
\underline{x-y=3} \\
x+x=9+3 \\
2x=12 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x=6 \\ \\
x+y=9 \\
6+y=9 \ \ \ |-6 \\
y=3

The numbers are 6 and 3.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?
Gala2k [10]

Hello!

So, every interior angle of a regular hexagon measures 120 degrees.

There are six interior angles of a hexagon, so you have to multiply 120 by 6.

120 x 6 = 720

So, the answer to your question is that the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees.

Hope this helps!
