\frac{1}{x] = \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{4}
OpenStudy (compassionate):
1/x = 1/6 + 1/4
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
ahah
OpenStudy (compassionate):
I tried the rule and failed 1 * 4 + 1 * 6/6* 4
OpenStudy (compassionate):
10/24 doesn't make much sense

Unless we can simplify it or something
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\] this?
OpenStudy (compassionate):
\[\frac{ 1 * 6 + 1 * 4 }{ 6 * 4 } = \frac{ 10 }{ 24 }\]
OpenStudy (compassionate):
However, my book says \[\frac{ 2 + 3 }{ 12 }\]
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
remember you have 1/x =... not x = ...

So.. I'm just finding the LCD of 10 and 24... Ah.
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \implies \frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 10 }{ 24 } \implies \frac{ 24 }{ 10 } = x\]
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
There we go, the answer should be x=12/5
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
which is same as 24/10
OpenStudy (compassionate):
\\[2\frac{ 2 }{ 5}\][\frac{ 12 }{ 5}\] Since 5 goes into 12 two times with a remainder of 2, I can say
