Hi everyone, so we want to solve the equation w, sorry, minus that equals 3 fourths equals negative 1 6, and then we want to check our answer after we're done.
00:13
So let's start by making both the fractions have the same denominator.
00:19
So in order to do that, you want to find the number, the lowest number that both denominators divide evenly into.
00:34
So for 4 and 6, that's 12, right? because, sorry, there's dead space over here.
00:42
Let's go over here.
00:44
So like 4 times 3 equals 12, and then 6 times 2 equals 12.
00:56
So now we know what number we're aiming for, 12.
00:58
Let's go ahead and change both of our fractions.
01:02
So 3 .4s times 3.
01:08
3 over 3 is 1, by the way.
01:11
So we're just multiplying by 1 is equal to 9 .12s.
01:19
And then for the negative 1, 6, negative 1, 6 times 2 times 2, we get negative 2 twelfths.
01:31
So now let's go back to our equation over here...
