Find Common Denominator: The common denominator for 6 and 9 is 18.\ Rewrite each term with the common denominator.\ (183)x−(184)x+(1810)x
Rewrite with Common Denominator: Now, combine the like terms.(\frac{\(3\)}{\(18\)})x - (\frac{\(4\)}{\(18\)})x + (\frac{\(10\)}{\(18\)})x = \frac{\(3\) - \(4\) + \(10\)}{\(18\)} x
Combine Like Terms: Simplify the numerator.\(\newline(3−4+10)=9So, 18(3−4+10)x=189x
Simplify Numerator: Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9. 189x=21x
