Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's try to find the lowest common denominator between 12, 3, and 6

To find the lowest common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by 12, 3, and 6

In this case, the common denominator is 12

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 12

We'll multiply the first fraction by 1

We'll multiply the second fraction by 4

We'll multiply the third fraction by 2

10×112×12×43×41×26×2=1012812212 \frac{10\times1}{12\times1}-\frac{2\times4}{3\times4}-\frac{1\times2}{6\times2}=\frac{10}{12}-\frac{8}{12}-\frac{2}{12}

Now let's subtract:

108212=2212=012 \frac{10-8-2}{12}=\frac{2-2}{12}=\frac{0}{12}

We'll divide both the numerator and denominator by 0 and get:

012=0 \frac{0}{12}=0
