Answer:

9 is the least common denominator for the given equation

Explanation:

Given equation is StartFraction 2 Over 9 EndFraction x + two-thirds x = 7.

It can be written as
(2)/(9)x+(2)/(3)x=7

To find the least common denominator for the given equation :

That is to find the Least common Multiple of the denominators.


(2)/(9)x+(2)/(3)x=7


(2x+2x(3))/(9)=7 ( here LCM of 9 and 3 is 9 so we take 9 as LCM )

Therefore 9 is the least common denominator for the given equation
