Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "^-6" was replaced by "^(-6)". 1 more similar replacement(s)
(2): "3.3" was replaced by "(33/10)".
Step 1 :
1.1 10 = 2•5
(10)-6 = (2•5)(-6) = (2)(-6) • (5)(-6)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
33
(5 • (10-3)) + (—— • ((2)(-6)•(5)(-6)))
10
Step 2 :
33
Simplify ——
10
Equation at the end of step 2 :
33
(5 • (10-3)) + (—— • ((2)(-6)•(5)(-6)))
10
Step 3 :
Multiplying exponents :
3.1 21 multiplied by 26 = 2(1 + 6) = 27
Raising to a Power :
3.2 51 multiplied by 56 = 5(1 + 6) = 57
Equation at the end of step 3 :
33
(5 • (10-3)) + ———————
(27•57)
Step 4 :
4.1 10 = 2•5
(10)-3 = (2•5)(-3) = (2)(-3) • (5)(-3)
Equation at the end of step 4 :
33
(5 • ((2)(-3)•(5)(-3))) + ———————
(27•57)
Step 5 :
Dividing exponents :
5.1 51 divided by 53 = 5(1 - 3) = 5(-2) = 1/52
Equation at the end of step 5 :
1 33
——— + ———————
200 (27•57)
Step 6 :
6.1 Finding a Common Denominator The left 200 The right 27 • 57 The product of any two denominators can be used as a common denominator. Said product is not necessarily the least common denominator. As a matter of fact, whenever the two denominators have a common factor, their product will be bigger than the least common denominator. Anyway, the product is a fine common denominator and can perfectly be used for calculating multipliers, as well as for generating equivalent fractions. 200 • 27 • 57 will be used as a common denominator.
Calculating Multipliers :
6.2 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 = 27 • 57
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 200
Making Equivalent Fractions :
6.3 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. (27•57) —————————————————— = ————————————— Common denominator 200 • (27•57) R. Mult. • R. Num. 33 • 200 —————————————————— = ————————————— Common denominator 200 • (27•57)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.4 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:
(27•57) + 33 • 200 27•57 + 6600
—————————————————— = —————————————
200 • (27•57) 200 • (27•57)
Final result :
1 + 6600
—————————————
200 • (27•57)
