3/4 + 4/13 divided 3/52 -6 simplification
Answers
Answer:
Step 1 :
52 Simplify —— x3
Equation at the end of step 1 :
52 (—— + 21) - 60 = 0 x3
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x3 as the denominator :
21 21 • x3 21 = —— = ——————— 1 x3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
52 + 21 • x3 21x3 + 52 ———————————— = ————————— x3 x3
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(21x3 + 52) ——————————— - 60 = 0 x3
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x3 as the denominator :
60 60 • x3 60 = —— = ——————— 1 x3
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
3.2 Factoring: 21x3 + 52
Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes, a3 + b3 can be factored into :
(a+b) • (a2-ab+b2)
Proof : (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2) =
a3-a2b+ab2+ba2-b2a+b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)+b3=
a3+0+0+b3=
a3+b3
Check : 21 is not a cube !!
