The denominator( s ) we are given are 
, and . The first thing we want to do is factor the expressions, to make this easier -
This expression is a perfect square, as ( x )^2 = x^2, ( 2 )^2 = 4, 2 * ( x ) * ( 2 ) = 4x. Thus, the simplified expression should be the following -
The other expression is, on the other hand, not a perfect square so we must break this expression into groups and attempt factorization -
Combining ( x + 2 )^2 and ( x + 2 )( x + 3 ), the expression that contains factors of each is ( x + 2 )^2 * ( x + 3 ), or in other words the LCM.

The small number is 2.
The large number is 3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.
- x be the small integer.
- x+1 be the large integer.
The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer
The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)
It is given that,
- The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- Here, the small integer is represented as x.
<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>
(2x+1) = 3x-1
Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,
3x-2x = 1+1
x = 2
Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.
Hi how was you day hope it was good mine was good bye
19/9 because 19/3 times 1/3 is 19/9
To write 7.32 as a fraction you have to write 7.32 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
7.32 = 7.32/1 = 73.2/10 = 732/100
And finally we have:
7.32 as a fraction equals 732/100
