Answer:

Find the LCD of the first two, then the LCD of that and the third one.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do it by finding the LCD of two of the denominators, then the LCD of that and the third denominator.

Or, you can factor each of the denominators and find their LCM by multiplying the unique factors to their highest powers.

___

Example:

1/21 + 1/35 + 1/45

The LCD of 1/21 and 1/35 is (21·35)/5 = 105. The LCD of 1/105 and 1/45 is ...

(105·45)/15 = 315

Using factoring ...

21 = 3·7
35 = 5·7
45 = 3²·5

LCD = 3²·5·7 = 315

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

x(x - 4) = 12

x2 - 4x = 12

x2 - 4x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

If the length is 6, the width must be 2.

Answer:

0.6804

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Margie is practicing for an upcoming tennis tournament. Her first serve is good 20 out of 30 times on average.

Since each trial is independent and there are two outcomes, X no of good serves is binomial with n=6 and p =2/3

Required probability

= Prob that atleast four of 6 times good serve

= $P(X\geq 4)$

= $P(x=4,5 or 6)\\=1-F(3)\\=0.6804$

Formula used:

P(X=r) = $6Cr (\frac{2}{3}^r )(\frac{1}{3}^{6-r} )$
