Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
4.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 6
The right denominator is : 3
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 6 | 3 | 6 |
Least Common Multiple:
6
Calculating Multipliers :
4.2 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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2
Making Equivalent Fractions :
4.3 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. (3-2x) —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 6 R. Mult. • R. Num. x • 2 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 6
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.4 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:
(3-2x) - (x • 2) 3 - 4x
———————————————— = ——————
6 6
Equation at the end of step 4 :
3 - 4x
—————— < 0
6
Step 5 :
5.1 Multiply both sides by 6
5.2 Multiply both sides by (-1)
Flip the inequality sign since you are multiplying by a negative number
4x-3 > 0
5.3 Divide both sides by 4
x-(3/4) > 0
Solve Basic Inequality :
5.4 Add 3/4 to both sides
x > 3/4
