I would convert them all to the denominator 16, due to the smallest fraction and all of them can be converted to it.
1 = 16/16
1/2 = 8/16
1/4 = 4/16
1/8 = 2/16
1/16 = 1/16
1+ 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31
31/16 = 1 15/16
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following equation and want to find which value of x will make it true:

Subtract 3 from both sides

Divide both sides by -6

Thus, the value that will make 3-6x=21 is x=-3. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
