Solve for n. (4 2/3 + 2 4/7) + 7 3/7= n+12 A.2 2/3 B.6 2/3 C.26 2/3 D.7 2/3 A. B. C. D.

OpenStudy (juicstice):

first solve what is in the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (juicstice):

do you need help with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm no you make it in proper right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*improper*

OpenStudy (juicstice):

yes. then you find the GCF

OpenStudy (juicstice):

the denominators have to be the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg brain fart. how do you you find the greatest common factor of 17/3 and 18/7?

OpenStudy (juicstice):

If you multiply 3 by 7 you get 18 so that would be the greatest common factor then to apply that to the problem you multiply 17/3 by 7/7 18/7 by 3/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 119/21 and 54/21

OpenStudy (juicstice):

yes, sorry I said 18 not 21. then add them together. I know it is a big number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

173/21

OpenStudy (juicstice):

okay now you add that to 7 3/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

225/28?

OpenStudy (juicstice):

okay so the proper form would be 52/7 then find the GCF which is 21 multiply 52/7 by 3/3

OpenStudy (juicstice):

then add them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

156/21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i add 156/21 + 225/28?

OpenStudy (juicstice):

yes. now you need to subtract 12 from both sides to do that with fractions you make 12 look like this: 12/1 then find the GCF which is 21 then multiply 21/1 by 21/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (juicstice):

then subtract and you will have n

OpenStudy (juicstice):

and remeber to put it in improper form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144/21 and 213/28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now find the greaest common factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait never mind.
