Simply solver for M: 1/10m - 1/11m = 1/1100 Subtract M from both sides^ 11/110m - 10/110m = 1/1100 Find LCM ^ 1/110m = 1/1100 Combine & Solve for M^ m = 10

OpenStudy (jadebirdfly):

um. thats not right

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Sorry, I didn't use a calculator on the last part. m = .1

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Bad math Q_Q

OpenStudy (jadebirdfly):

Yep thats right! Thanks a lot! Can you help me with one more? I suck at these :(

Multiply both sides by the LCD 1100 to clear out the fractions \[\Large \frac{1}{10}m = \frac{1}{11}m + \frac{1}{1100}\] \[\Large {\color{red}{1100*}}\frac{1}{10}m = {\color{red}{1100*}}\left(\frac{1}{11}m + \frac{1}{1100}\right)\] \[\Large {\color{red}{1100*}}\frac{1}{10}m = {\color{red}{1100*}}\frac{1}{11}m + {\color{red}{1100*}}\frac{1}{1100}\] \[\Large 110m = 100m + 1\] Do you see how to finish up?

OpenStudy (jadebirdfly):

yup i already got the answer. thanks though! Can you help me with one more tho?

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Yes.

Multiply bother sides by LCM of 6. 3(9u-11) = 2(19u+11) 27u - 33 = 38u + 22 Solve for u -11u = 55 u = -5

OpenStudy (jadebirdfly):

ohhhhhhh i see it now. Thanks!

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Always remember your LCMs :) GL

OpenStudy (jadebirdfly):

Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t. Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6. Shawn adds 7 to t and then divides the result by 7. If Malin's final answer is the same as Shawn's final answer, what was the number t?

How would i make an equation for this and how would i solve it?
