You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the attached picture should be self explanatory.
\n" ); document.write( "it uses the LCD method as you requested.
\n" ); document.write( "it there's anything in there that confuses you, let me know and i'll explain as best I can.
\n" ); document.write( "the denominator that looks like yy is really xy.
\n" ); document.write( "just some sloppy handwriting on my part.
\n" ); document.write( "the LCD was xy for both the numerator and the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"
\n" ); document.write( "the other method is to find the LCD of the overall fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "In this problem, that turns out to be the same LCD.
\n" ); document.write( "the solution is shown below.
\n" ); document.write( "once again, it should be self explanatory.
\n" ); document.write( "The second method, in this case, is actually easier.
\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
