Question

does anybody know how to get a common denominator withna fraction like t/8+t/6=1

Answer 1

find the Least Common Multiple of 8 and 6.
LCM of 8 and 6 is 24. So multiply the entire equation by 24

Answer 2

With equations, you can multiply EVERY term by the LCD 24 to clear out the fractions.


So multiply t/8 by 24 to get 3t


Multiply t/6 by 24 to get 4t


Multiply 1 by 24 to get 24


So the new equation comes out to be 3t+4t = 24. See what you can do with this new equation.
