To convert gallons to pints, multiply the gallons by 8. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon and 2 pints in each quart, you multiply by 8 since 4*2 is 8.
Without LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24)
2x + 3 = 3x - 8
2x - 3x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11
with LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24) ...multiply by 6
3(4x + 6) = 2(9x - 24)
12x + 18 = 18x - 48
12x - 18x = -48 - 18
-6x = - 66
x = -66/-6
x = 11
Yes, the answers are the same :)
Answer:

3)The example equation becomes "x + 10 - 15x = 20," which is then "-14 x + 10 = 20." Subtract 10 from each side, divide by 14 and you have end up with x = -10/14, which simplifies to x = -5/7. Plug in the x value in to the first equation to find out the y value. y = 2 - 3(-5/7) becomes 2 + 15/7, which is 29/7.
