That's the description of a fraction when the numerator and denominator
don't have any common factor except '1' .

Lowest terms basically means that the fraction/ mixed number is in simplest form. Which means it can't be divided by anything to get a lower number for both the numerator and denominator because they don't have anymore factors that they share. For example, if I wanted to simplify the fraction, 4/8. I would divide by 4 on both the top and bottom since that is their greatest common factor.
4 ➗ 4=1
8 ➗4=2
1/2 would be the "lowest terms" of 4/8 since 1 and 2 don't have any common factors except 1.

??????????????????????????????
Greeley [361]

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{2x-20}{3}=2x  \end{gathered}$}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20=6x \end{gathered}$}

Subtract 6x on both sides.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20-6x=0 \end{gathered}$}

Combine 2x and −6x to get −4x.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x-20=0 \end{gathered}$}

Add 20 to both sides. Any value plus zero results in its same value.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x=20 \end{gathered}$}

Divide both sides by −4.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{20}{-4}  \end{gathered}$}

Divide 20 by −4 to get −5.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=-5 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer \end{gathered}$}

Saylor Henshaw earned $120 in simple interest in 9 months at an annual interest rate of 5%. How much money did he invest?
Ksju [112]
Annual interest is P*r^t, r is 0.05 here, t is 9/12=3/4=0.75
P*0.05^0.75=120
use your calculaor: P= 120÷ (0.05)^0.75=1135
so he invested about 1135 dollars

Is this true? And also how does the equation from y-3=3(x-4) become a positive <br> y+3=3x-12?
EastWind [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

the right equation is :

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+3=3(x+4)

y+3= 3x+12

y=3x+12-3

y=3x+9
