The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it 

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 2x^2

Justification:

First we must make the expressions clear.

It seems you are asking about the least common denominator of 4/x and - 4/ (2x^2).

I will not simpligy the second denominator and will find the least common denominator of x and 2x^2.

The least common factor is the simplest (smallest) factor that contain all the factors given.

So, the least common denominator of both x and 2x^2 is the simplest monomial that contains them.

To find that least common factor you take the  product of:

- least common multiple of the coefficients: in this case the coefficients are 1 and 2, so the least common coefficient is 2.

- the product of the different letter raised to the highest power: in this case the only letter is x and the highest power is 2, so it is x^2

Therefore the lease common denominator is the product of 2 and x^2 which is 2x^2.

Andrew fish tank holds 144 gallons of water. To clean the tank, he drains the water at a rate the water at a rate of 6 gallons p
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * \frac{1}{3} .... first multiply the right side of the equation

6t = 48   ... next divide both sides by 6

t = 8

Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
