They always say to do the problem in parentheses first
We know that
(ad)/(bd)=d/d time a/b=a/b since d's cancel
also
if a/b=c/d in simplest form, then a=c and b=d
we have
p/(x^2-5x+6)=(x+4)/(x-2)
therefor
p/(x^2-5x+6)=d/d times (x+4)/(x-2)
p/(x^2-5x+6)=d(x+4)/d(x-2)
therefor
p=d(x+4) and
x^2-5x+6=d(x-2)
we can solve last one
factor
(x-6)(x+1)=d(x-2)
divide both sides by (x-2)
[(x-6)(x+1)]/(x-2)=d
sub
p=d(x+4)
p=([(x-6)(x+1)]/(x-2))(x+4)
Ok so it's a proportion so this fraction is to this fraction. the smaller rectangle has sides 4 and 12. the larger one has 8 and x. so u set it up 4/12=8/x. the 4 and 8 r both the short sides so u want those on top and 12 and x r long sides so those on bottom. since that is not an answer option u can set it up as 8/4=x/12 because u still keep the variables of the same rectangle from being multipled with each other. so answer #2 is correct

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: y = 2x - 7
Discussion:
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2y /2 = (4x-14)/2 = 4x/2 -14/2
or
y = 2x - 7
Thank you,
MrB
