@paki

OpenStudy (paki):

4/9=-2v+1/3v... rite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (paki):

hmm... now make the equation in simple linear from... so multiply both sides of the equation by "27" to make it simple....

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge \frac{4}{9}=-2v+\frac{1}{3}v$$

OpenStudy (paki):

@iceicebaby please respond, so that you may be guided here...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What is the LCD of 3 and 9 @iceicebaby ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (paki):

27*(4/9)=(-2v)*27+27*(1/3)v now solve it....

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

9 is the least common mutiple

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

LCM = 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

LCM is the least integer that is a multiple of two given integers, right?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Now multiply both sides of the equation by the LCM.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

This will eliminate the fractions right @iceicebaby ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge \frac{4}{9}=-2v+\frac{1}{3}v$$ $$\Huge 9\frac{4}{9}=9(-2v+\frac{1}{3}v)$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge \cancel{9}\frac{4}{\cancel{9}}=-18v+3v$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for all the help and all but i need to be done with this in two minutes can we speed this up

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge4=-18v+3v$$ $$\Huge4=(-18+3)v$$ $$\Huge4=-15v$$ $$\Huge -\frac{4}{15}=v$$

theese are the answers i have four-ninths negative one-eighteenth one-ninth five-sixths
