Could someone please walk me through this problem? I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to start. I'm probably just blanking but it would be great if someone wouldn't mind helping me out.

\(\displaystyle 18.\, \mbox{ Find equivalent fractions, using the least common de}\mbox{nominator, for: }\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \dfrac{x}{15(x^2\, -\, 2)}\, \mbox{ and }\, \dfrac{7x(y\, -\, 1)}{10(x\, -\, 1)}\)

The problem just wants you to find equivalent fractions with the least common denominator.

thanks in advance :)

They've told you to start by finding the least common denominator, so that would probably be a good place to start. What did you get for that part?

Please show all of your steps. Thank you! ;)
