Question

can anyone do this?
3x+1/14 = 2x/8

Answer 1

what is the least common denominator of 14 and 8?

Answer 2

2?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Why?

Answer 5

because 2 cannot be divided by either of them you have found a common factor

Answer 6

If you mean why as in why find the lcm then so you can get rid of the fractions

Answer 7

112 then?

Answer 8

It is %^ because 56 div. by 14 is 4 and 56 div. by 8 is 7

Answer 9

112 was good enough. You really just needed at common denominator.

Now multiply both sides of the equation by 56. What do you get?

Answer 10

14 * 56 = 784

Answer 11

and 56 * 8 = 448

Answer 12

no I mean like this 56(3x+1/14)=56(2x/8)

Answer 13

oh

Answer 14

So what is it?

Answer 15

i have no idea

Answer 16

@Thelazyone0305 : are you comfortable with our decision that the LCD is 56? Note that both 14 and 8 divide into 56 with no remainder in either case.

Multiply all terms of 3x+1/14 = 2x/8 by 56. Cancel wherever possible:\[56(3x)+ 56(\frac{ 1 }{ 14 })=56\frac{ 2x }{ 8 }\] Doing this will eliminate the fractions.

Your result? Type it in here, please.

Answer 17

Sorry. That's 56(3x)+56(1/14)=56(2X/8)

Answer 18

Your input, please?

Answer 19

idk

Answer 20

im only 12

Answer 21

What is 56*3, 56*1/14, and 56*2/8?

BTW I'm only 11 myself.

Answer 22

Yes, and I'm only 71 myself. ;)

Come on. You can multiply 56 by 3. Do this, please.

Answer 23

Next, divide 56 by 14.

Next, divide 56 by 8.
