2. Find the LCD of 1/3 = 1/x + 1/2 + 1/3
3. Solve the equation and determine how long it will take Molli to paint the
room alone.



please help, god bless you and thank you in advance.

Answer 1

1/3 = 1/x + 1/2 + 1/3
the LCD is 6x, so multiply each term by 6x
2x = 6 + 3x + 2x
3x= -6
x = -2

you did not provide a definition of x, so it is not possible to tell
if that answer is valid.
