Adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation: You can't continue on with the problem until the denominators are the same. So you need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator). For example...

\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3}  The LCD is six

\frac{1*3}{2*3}=\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{3}= \frac{3}{6} +\frac{2}{6}

\frac{3+2}{6}= \frac{5}{6}

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day! :-)

Explain why the intercepts, on their own, cannot be used to graph the relation 5x+9y= 0.
goldfiish [28.3K]
5x + 9y = 0

to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
5x + 9(0) = 0
5x = 0
x = 0

to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
5(0) + 9y = 0
9y = 0
y = 0

the reason u cannot use just the intercepts is because the line goes through the origin (0,0)....The intercepts coincide giving u only 1 point...and that is not enough to graph a line
