Question: Find the LCD of the denominators. q, q - 6 The LCD is □.

Solution

First, identify the denominators:

The denominators are \( q \) and \( q - 6 \).

Since there are no common factors between \( q \) and \( q - 6 \), the least common denominator (LCD) is the product of the two denominators.

\[ LCD = q \times (q - 6) & \]

Therefore, the LCD is \( q(q - 6) \).
