Question

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?

m – negative StartFraction 3 Over 4 EndFraction m minus StartFraction one-half EndFraction equals 2 StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction m. = 2 + m

Answer 1

The number is 4.

Answer 2

The number is 4

Explanation:

Given ⇒
`-(3)/(4)m -(1)/(2)=2+(1)/(4) m`

the number that can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving is LCD of the denominators

Denominators are 2,4

Factor of 2 = 2 * 1

Factor of 4 = 2 * 2 * 1

LCD = 2 * 2 * 1 = 4

So, if we multiply by 4 all fractions will be eliminated.

So, The number is 4
