Hello, \n" ); document.write( "The key to fractions is getting the denominators all the same and then adding. \n" ); document.write( "4x/3+6/4+(3x-2)/2 \n" ); document.write( "First reduce 6/4 to 3/2 \n" ); document.write( "Let's set the denominator at 6 so: \n" ); document.write( "8x/6+9/6+3(3x-2)/6 \n" ); document.write( "Now we can rewrite this to get: \n" ); document.write( "(8x+9+9x-6)/6 \n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms in the numerator to get: \n" ); document.write( "(17x+3)/6 (note: Quadratic deals only when we have x to the 2nd power, x^2) \n" ); document.write( "Make sense? \n" ); document.write( "RJ \n" ); document.write( "www.math-unlock.com \n" ); document.write( " |
