The lowest common denominator of the fractions in the equation is 9x

Here, we want to find the lowest common denominator for thr fractions in the equation

We directly look at the denominators of the fractions

The denominators that we have are x , 3 and 9

We should note that 3 is a factor of 9;

So the lowest common denominator here will be x * 9 = 9x
