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)

A^2 + b^2 = c^2 (pythagoras theorem)
A = 5, b = 8
(5)^2 + (8)^2 = c^2
25 + 64 = 89
c^2 = 89
The answer would be D.

On a quiz show, Linda won $10 less than three times as much as Charlie. If Linda won $800, how much did Charlie win?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Charlie won $270.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Amount earned by Linda.
  • Variable y: Amount earned by Charlie.

Linda won $10 less than three times as much as Charlie, hence:

x = 3y - 10

Linda won $800, hence the amount won by Charlie is found as follows:

800 = 3y - 10

3y = 810

y = 810/3

y = 270
