Reducing fractions to their lowest termsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
h
Simplify —
2
Equation at the end of step 1 :
h
((l - d) + —) + 110
2
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
l - d (l - d) • 2
l - d = ————— = ———————————
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:
(l-d) • 2 + h 2l - 2d + h
————————————— = ———————————
2 2
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(2l - 2d + h)
————————————— + 110

Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
110 110 • 2
110 = ——— = ———————
1 2
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(2l-2d+h) + 110 • 2 2l - 2d + h + 220
——————————————————— = —————————————————

Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
3.3 Split 2l - 2d + h + 220
into two 2-term polynomials
- 2d + 2l and + h + 220
This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:
2l - 2d and + h + 220
This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:
2l + h and - 2d + 220
This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:
2l + 220 and + h - 2d
This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:
+ 220 + 2l and + h - 2d
This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:
+ h + 2l and + 2d + 220
All three partitions failed. Tiger finds no factorization
Final result :
+ 2d + 220
How did we do?
