The LCD is 6t
1/t + 1/(2t) + 1/(3t) = 5
(6 + 3 + 2)/(6t) = 5
11 = 30t
t = 11/30

Reading this as:-
1 / t + 1 / (2t) + 1 / (3t) = 5 (lcd = 6t)
6 + 3 + 2 = 30 t
11 = 30 t
t = 11 / 30

First, simply multiply by t:
1/t + 1/2t + 1/3t = 5
becomes
1+ 1/2 + 1/3 = 5t
Now, add up the LHS:
1 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 6/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 = 11/6
So:
11/6 = 5t
So, t = (11/6) / 5 = 11/30

LCD is 6t
6/6t + 3/6t + 2/6t =5
11/6t =5
11 = 30t
11/30 =t
Check
1/(11/30) + 1/2(11/30) + 1/3(11/30) = 5 ??
30/11 + 30/22 + 30/33 =5
180/66 + 90/66 +60/66 =5
330/66= 5
5 = 5 YES!!

1/t + 1/2t + 1/3t = 5
3t(1/t + 1/2t + 1/3t) = 5(3t)
3 + 3/2 + 3/3 = 15t
3 + 1.5 + 1 = 15t
5.5 = 15t
t = 5.5/15

1/t + 1/2t + 1/3t = 5
multiply by 6t
6 + 3 + 2 = 30t
so 30t = 11
so t = 11/30
That's assuming all the t's are on the bottom of the fractions.

first, multiply it by 6t, then it will left
6+3+2=30t
11=30t
t=11/30
i think this is the answer.... hope this will help, sorry if this answer is wrong....
