Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator (LCD) is defined as the least common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions. In this case, we have the fractions:


(3)/(x), (2)/(x-11)

So the LCD here is the product of
x \ and \ x-11. Therefore:


LCD=x(x-11)

So we can write equivalent expressions as:


(3(x-11))/(x(x-11)), (2x)/(x(x-11))

As you can see, both expression has the same denominator which is the LCD.
