Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multipleStep by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x1" was replaced by "x^1".
Step 1 :
x
Simplify ——
10
Equation at the end of step 1 :
8 x (— • x) - (—— • x) 9 10Step 2 :
8 Simplify — 9
Equation at the end of step 2 :
8 x2
(— • x) - ——
9 10
Step 3 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 9
The right denominator is : 10
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
3 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
5 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 9 | 10 | 90 |
Least Common Multiple:
90
Calculating Multipliers :
3.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions
Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno
Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 10
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 9
Making Equivalent Fractions :
3.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. 8x • 10 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 90 R. Mult. • R. Num. x2 • 9 —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 90
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.4 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:
8x • 10 - (x2 • 9) 80x - 9x2
—————————————————— = —————————
90 90
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
80x - 9x2 = -x • (9x - 80)
Final result :
+x • (9x + 80) —————————————— 90
