You can solve this easily by using Pascal's Triangle (look that up if need be).
Here are the first four rows of P. Triangle:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
example: expand (a+b)^3.
Look at the 4th row. Borrow and use those coefficients:
1a^3 + 3 a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3
Now expand (4x+3y)^3:
1(4x)^3 + 3(4x)^2(3y) + 3(4x)*(3y)^2 + (3y)^3
Look at the 2nd term (above):
3(4x)^2(3y) can be re-written as 144x^2y.
The coeff of the 2nd term is 144. Note that (4)^2 = 16
As you plug in those numbers for x (from left to right) y=
0
1
2
3
4
8z-8=6z+8
8x-6z=8+8
2z=16
Z=8
Answer: The answer is 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common denominator means the same as least common multiple.
