Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 6
The right denominator is : 5
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 5 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 6 | 5 | 30 |
Least Common Multiple:
30
Calculating Multipliers :
3.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions
Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno
Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 5
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 6
Making Equivalent Fractions :
3.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. (2-5x) • 5 —————————————————— = —————————— L.C.M 30 R. Mult. • R. Num. 3 • 6 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 30
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(2-5x) • 5 - (3 • 6) -25x - 8
———————————————————— = ————————
30 30
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-25x - 8 = -1 • (25x + 8)
Equation at the end of step 4 :
-25x - 8
———————— > 0
30
Step 5 :
5.1 Multiply both sides by 30
5.2 Multiply both sides by (-1)
Flip the inequality sign since you are multiplying by a negative number
25x+8 < 0
5.3 Divide both sides by 25
x+(8/25) < 0
Solve Basic Inequality :
5.4 Subtract 8/25 from both sides
x < -8/25
