Answer:

So you can cancel out the 16. See, the -16 is negative, and if we add +16 to it, then it cancels out and is 0. That way, you have x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

-16x+x=-15

+16x      +16

   0+x=1

       x=1

ANSWER: x=12
EXPLANATION:
9+x/6=11
(54+x)/6=11 (finding common denominator)
x/6=11-54/6 (rearranging terms)
x/6=(66-54)/6 (finding common denominator so 6 gets cancelled from both the sides)
x=12

Which of the following is a common denominator of 1/4 and 5/6? Answers:
kondaur [170]

Answer:

C, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

least common multiple of 4 and 6 is:

prime factorization of 4: 2*2

prime factorization of 6: 3*2

common factors: 2, so you should only multiply one of the common 2s when multiplying the factors to get the least common multiple

2*2*3=12

12 is a common denominator of 1/4 and 5/6
