The LCD of the denominator is 12. For this one it is possible to just 'see' that 6 is a divisor of 12. When in doubt, you can always get an answer by just multiplying the denominators. (ie., you can turn 11/12 into 66/72 and 1/6 into 12/72).
In this case, the easiest is to convert 1/6 into 2/12. (multiply both numbers by 2).
Then it becomes:
Answer:
x =2
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+4) /3 = 2
Multiply each side by 3
(x+4) /3 *3= 2*3
x+4 = 6
Subtract 4
x+4-4 = 6-4
x =2
Let the bigger no. be X and the smaller no. be Y
X-Y=48
7-3=4
48÷4=12
X=12×7=84
Y=12×3=36
-20/48 x 6 =

x

I would cancel out the 6 in the numerator and the 48 in the denominator
Now I have <u />

or <u />

reduced.
-5 ÷ 2 = -2 1/2 and that is the answer in simplest form
