6 - 3/4x + 1/3 = 1/2x + 5.....if u multiply by the common denominator (which is 12). the fractions will be eliminated

Answer:

The number which can be multiplied to each term of the equation to eliminate the fractions is:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation:

[tex]6-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5[/tex]

We see as we multiply both sides of the equation by 12 the fractions are eliminated and equation is transformed to:

72-9x+4=6x+60

Hence, the number which can be multiplied to each term of the equation to eliminate the fractions is:

12
