Algebra.Com's Answer #16281 by askmemath(368)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x/2x+2 = 2x/3x+3 + 2x+3/x+1 \n" ); document.write( "Consider only the denominators \n" ); document.write( "2x+2 = 2(X+1) \n" ); document.write( "3x+3 = 3(X+1) \n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 1(x+1) \n" ); document.write( "Since X+1 is common to all, you cancel them all out!!! \n" ); document.write( "5x/2 = 2x/3 + 2x+3/1 \n" ); document.write( "you only have to worry abt 1,2,3 whose LCM becomes 6 \n" ); document.write( "So basically your LCD is 6 \n" ); document.write( "can you solve from here? \n" ); document.write( " |
