Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
t-((450/4+3)+(450/4-3))=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
225
Simplify ———
2
Equation at the end of step 1 :
450 225
t - ((——— + 3) + (——— - 3)) = 0
4 2
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
3 3 • 2
3 = — = —————
1 2
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
225 - (3 • 2) 219
————————————— = ———
2 2
Equation at the end of step 2 :
450 219
t - ((——— + 3) + ———) = 0
4 2
Step 3 :
225
Simplify ———

Equation at the end of step 3 :
225 219
t - ((——— + 3) + ———) = 0

Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
3 3 • 2
3 = — = —————
1 2
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
225 + 3 • 2 231
——————————— = ———
2 2
Equation at the end of step 4 :
231 219
t - (——— + ———) = 0
2 2
Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
231 + 219 225
————————— = ———
2 1
Equation at the end of step 5 :
225
t - ——— = 0
1
Step 6 :
Equation at the end of step 6 :
t - 225 = 0
Step 7 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
7.1 Solve : t-225 = 0
Add 225 to both sides of the equation :
t = 225
One solution was found :
t = 225How did we do?
