Question

which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving ? -3/4m-1/2=2+1/4m

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to QuestionCove!

To solve this problem, we can take a look at all of the fractions in the equation, since we are being asked to eliminate all fractions through multiplication.

We have -3/4, -1/2, and 1/4.
Can you think of a single number that all of these fractions can be multiplied by so that they are no longer fractions? There may be more than one correct answer, but you only have to choose one.
Here is a hint: since the fractions have denominators of 2 and 4, we would need to multiply by a number that is a multiple of both 2 and 4 (of course, 4 is also a multiple of 2, so this is a bit redundant to say)
