Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common denominator of and
is going to be a multiple of 9 and 6. Let us list them out:
9: 9, <u>18</u>, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90
6: 6, 12, <u>18</u>, 24, 30, 36, 42, 28, 54, 60
You can see I bolded and underlined 18. Why? This is the first common multiple of 9 and 6 so it is our least common denominator (LCD).
<h2>Translating Sentences into Equations</h2>
A key part of this is recognizing certain words to change into operations or numbers:
- <em>quotient</em> = divide
- <em>three more</em> = add 3
- <em>'a/the number' </em>= use a variable (in this case, it's <em>w</em>)
We're given:
- Three more than the quotient of a number and 7 equals 6
⇒ 'the quotient of a number and 7' tells us we divide <em>w</em> by 7: - Three more than
equals 6
⇒ 'three more than' means we add 3 to the fraction: equals 6
