Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll provide an example to help you. Let's say we were solving 
and we wanted to factor the quadratic on the left side. We can't do that because the factors of -7 don't add up to 5. So we'd have to use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is essentially the last resort that will solve all quadratic equations, so it could be seen as a preferred method. But, unless you can factor the quadratic, it's much easier to solve.
Now let's do another one. 
for example can be written as 
and we can easily get 
and 
as solutions since plugging them into the factors would produce 0 (from the Zero Product Property). If we used the quadratic formula, it would take more time to plug in the variables and solve when we can just simply factor.
Hopefully, this explanation helps you to think of your discussion post!

Answer: -1.5/6 = -1/4; -1.7/9 = -17/90
Step-by-step explanation: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is asking for, but this how I interpreted it. Use the LCD of the fractions -1.5/6 and -1.7/9 to find equivalent fractions with integer numerators and denominators.
For me, LCD doesn't help with solving the problem that much.
But anyways, the first fraction, -1.5, can be turned in an integer if you multiply the entire fraction by 2. So the result would be -3/12. You can simplify this to -1/4.
The second fraction, when multiplied by 10 yields -17/90. 17 is a prime number and is not a factor of 90, thus the equivalent fraction of -1.7/9 is 17/90.
Hope this helped.
