(HELP QUICKLY!)

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

m – = 2 + m

2
3
4
5

Answer 1

since we need to eliminate the fraction loook at the denominator.
that is *4*

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

We first find the common denominator of all three of the fractions. Since the denominators are 2 and 4, the least common denominator (LCD) would be 4, as that is the first number both 2 and 4 go into.

1/2 is the same as 2/4; this makes the equation

-3/4m - 2/4 = 2 + 1/4m

Since all of the fractions have the same denominator, we multiply by that denominator to eliminate the fractions; multiply by 4.
