OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

Start by finding the least common denominator!

i did that im just stuck. after i did 2/2t what will i do to 2/5t - 3/3t ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2t demointor stays the same but you add the 1+1 so it would be 2/2t correct ?

@SmokeysTheName where are you

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

So you have 2/2t + 2 / 5t - 3/ 3t. In order to do anything with these, we need for them to have a least common denominator. LCM of 2, 5, and 3 is 30t. Can you adjust these fractions so each of them has 30 on the bottom?
