Lcd means least common denomenators
it is normally used to combine fractions with differnt denomenators

I can show 2 disproofs

so
they can be equal
conside
3/4 and 5/8
lcd is 8, 8>8 is false
not reasnable

they can be less if they arenot simplified
example
4/8 and 24/16
lcd is 4

not reasonable

It is not reasonable.
The LCD can be less than the denominators if the fractions are not in simplest form but the LCD can be equal to one of the fractions even if they are in simplest form, for example:
3/4 and 1/2

Hope this helps :)

Ksenya-84 [330]
20+4x=76  subtract 20 from both sides

4x=56  divide both sides by 4

x=14

So he was driving at 55+14=69 mph

How much more would the value of y be on the graph than its value
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table :

Slope :

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (100 - 80) / (5 - 4)

m = 20 / 1

m = 20

y = 20x

Hence, when, x = 12

y = 20 * 12

y = 240

From the graph:

Slope :

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (280 - 70) / (8 - 2)

m = 210 / 6

m = 35

y = 35x

When x = 12

Graph :

y = 35 * 12

y = 420

Difference :

420 - 240

= 180
