OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

( was thinking b )

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know what mean LCD ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

lowest common denominator

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

oh is it d

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

d. you think the last one - so not is this the right answer - sorry

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

oh

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

3x-6y=3(x-2y) yes ? try make this in case of second fraction too - what will get ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

idk..

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so you can factorizing out 5 and will get what ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

2?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

5(x-2y) same like the first fraction so what mean this ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry this wan meaning thet (x-2y) same like the first fraction

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

c

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but than you know this so this result that you need getting just the LCD for 3 and 5 - do you know what number will be ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

no

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

because this (x-2y) is common part of denominators so this mean that you need getting the LCD just for 3 and 5 what is the forst low number what is divisibly by 3 and by 5 too ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what is the first - sorry

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

9 is right 10 is right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

9 is right for 3 but not is for 5 10 is right for 5 but not is for 3 so what number will be right for every two ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

8

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why 8 ? 8 not is divisibly by 3 and not by 5 you need getting a number what is divisibly by 3 and by 5 too

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

20?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

20 not is divisibly by 3 just by 5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

try one less than 20

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

155

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

15

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but because there in case of first fraction the denominator is 3(x-2y) so this mean that you need multiplie the numerator of this fraction by how many ? remember the denominator common is 15(x-2y)

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

3(x-2y) you need multiplie by how many to get 15(x-2y) ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so from this result that the numerator of first fraction you need multiplie by 5 and will get what for the first fraction ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

10

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no 5*4 --------- = ? 15(x-2y)

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

20

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

or c ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why a. or why c. ? can you explain me please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

than you check there above what we have calculed for denominator ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

i think c because the denominator is like what u said

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

like i said but you understand it now sure right why is c. and not a. ?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ya

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok than was my pleasure and good luck bye

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ty

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

bye
