Solve x_{R}=59/144+4/9

$$x _ { R } = \frac { 59 } { 144 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 }$$

Solve for x_R

$$x_{R}=\frac{41}{48}\approx 0.854166667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Least common multiple of 144 and 9 is 144. Convert \frac{59}{144} and \frac{4}{9} to fractions with denominator 144.

$$x_{R}=\frac{59}{144}+\frac{64}{144}$$

Since \frac{59}{144} and \frac{64}{144} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x_{R}=\frac{59+64}{144}$$

Add 59 and 64 to get 123.

$$x_{R}=\frac{123}{144}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{123}{144} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x_{R}=\frac{41}{48}$$

Assign x_R

$$x_{R}≔\frac{41}{48}$$
