x/3 + x/4 = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you need to get the least common denominator for the equation. What would that be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to multiply each item (x/3,x/4, and 1) by 12. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 is correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In other words what would the equation look like after multiplying the items above by 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you multiply just the denominators or both the numerator and the denominators by 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You multiply the number 12...like below then simplfy\[\frac{ 12 }{ 1 }\times \frac{ x }{ 3 } =\frac{ 12x }{ 3 } =4x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay so would the answer come out to be 1.7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job
