Answer:
- <em>convert </em>the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
- if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and <em>rewrite </em>the fractions with the same denominators
- subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
- convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.
Example
convert to improper fractions:
common denominator = 3 × 5 = 15, so:
subtract:
convert back to mixed fractions:
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to recognize that
Now, we can try to solve
Multiply each side by
As we end up with an answer that cannot be true, we know that there is no solution.
Another method to solve this would be graphing the function
When graphed, it can be seen that there is an asymptote at x=0 meaning that there is no value for x=0.
