Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "2and 1/2 + 3 and 1/16k + 1/8= 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for k
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "lets change the mixed fractions to improper fractions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2 and 1/2 is 5/2 and 3 and 1/16 is 49/16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(5/2)+(49k/16)+(1/8)=0........the LCD is 16 so lets convert each fraction to like terms
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(40/16)+(49k/16)+(2/16)=0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "49k/16=-42/16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "49k=-42
