Like fractions are fractions with the same denominator. You can add and subtract like fractions easily - simply add or subtract the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.

Before you can add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find equivalent fractions with the same denominator, like this:

1.Find the smallest multiple (LCM) of both numbers.

2.Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as the denominator.

When working with fractions, the LCM is called the least common denominator (LCD)

the zeros of a parabola are -4 and 2, and (6, 10) is a point on the graph. which equation can be solved to determine the value o
natka813 [3]
Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.

Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.

Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant.  This is, the equation has the form:

y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)

Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:

10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)

Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:

10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)

10 = a (10)(4)

10 = 40a
