Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? 6 – x + = 6 minus startfraction 3 over 4 endfraction x plus startfraction 1 over 3 endfraction equals startfraction one-half endfraction x plus 5.x + 5 2 3 6 12

We need to multiply 12 to each term to eliminate fractions.

Explanation:

Given expression:

To eliminate the fraction we need to multiply each term by least common multiple of the denominators of the fraction.

The denominators in the above expressions are:

4, 3 and 2

The multiples of each can be listed below.

2⇒ 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16.....

3⇒ 3,6,9,12,15,18

4⇒ 4,8,12.......

From the list of the multiples stated, we can see the least common multiple is 12.

So we will multiply each term by 12.

Multiplying 12 to both sides.

Using distribution,

Thus we successfully eliminated the fractions.
