What can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?

x - + 2x = StartFraction one-half EndFraction x minus StartFraction 5 Over 4 EndFraction plus 2 x equals StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction plus x. + x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation

consists of five terms, three of them contain fractions. The denominators of these fractions are 2, 4 and 6.

Find the LCM (2,4,6). Since

2=2;

4=2·2;

6=2·3,

then LCM (2,4,6) = 2·2·3=12.

Thus, you have to multiply each term of the equation by 12 to eliminate the fractions.

Answer is 12
