Equation with Complex Fractions. Yikes! 👀 Yeah...so...I purposely chose the crazy looking equation below, because I thought it would be fun to solve.
This week's problem is the last problem of 2020. 😩 Not to fret, I will definitely be back in 2021 with more problems to help your brain sharp. (Gonna take me a little holiday break. 😌)
To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:
✔️ How solve equations with fractions
✔️ How to deal with complex fractions
WMP! #32 wants us to...
Happy solving!
Check back on Friday, December 18th for the solution, which will be posted below ⬇️.

So, here we are to solve the last problem of 2020--WMP! #32. Just the other day, I started my blog. The other day was 11 months ago...wow. Time ⏳ is going faster than Usain Bolt.
When it comes to fractions, sometimes we have options. With a complex fraction, I like to make it less complex. How did I do that? By getting rid of the denominators. For the major fractions in the problem, their LCD (lest common denominator) is 12. So, I multiplied both sides of the equation by the LCD. Here is the result:
After the work above, I definitely ended up with a less complex equation. However, there is still one fraction left. No worries. I will just repeat the process of multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCD. This time, the LCD is 2.
▪️ How do you feel about fractions??
