## Compassionate one year ago \frac{1}{x] = \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{4}

1. Compassionate

\frac{1}{x] = \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{4}

2. Compassionate

1/x = 1/6 + 1/4

3. Astrophysics

ahah

4. Compassionate

I tried the rule and failed 1 * 4 + 1 * 6/6* 4

5. Compassionate

10/24 doesn't make much sense

6. Compassionate

Unless we can simplify it or something

7. Astrophysics

$\frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$ this?

8. Compassionate

$\frac{ 1 * 6 + 1 * 4 }{ 6 * 4 } = \frac{ 10 }{ 24 }$

9. Compassionate

However, my book says $\frac{ 2 + 3 }{ 12 }$

10. Astrophysics

remember you have 1/x =... not x = ...

11. Compassionate

So.. I'm just finding the LCD of 10 and 24... Ah.

12. Astrophysics

$\frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \implies \frac{ 1 }{ x } = \frac{ 10 }{ 24 } \implies \frac{ 24 }{ 10 } = x$

13. Astrophysics

There we go, the answer should be x=12/5

14. Astrophysics

which is same as 24/10

15. Compassionate

\$2\frac{ 2 }{ 5}$[\frac{ 12 }{ 5}\] Since 5 goes into 12 two times with a remainder of 2, I can say

16. Astrophysics

Sure thing
