8/12 simplifies to 2/3 by dividing the top and bottom by 4

24/36 divide top and bottom by 12= 2/3

4/6 divide top and bottom by 2 = 2/3

6/10 divide top and bottom by 2 = 3/5

Choice D

look at the numerator and denominator. if you can use the same number to multiple or divde to get it

B is equivalent because 8/12 becomes 24/26 if I times by 3/3

1/3(6x-15)=1/2(10x-4) solve for x

Tatiana [17]

Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3

6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Factor out the common term; 3

3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Cancel out 3

2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2

2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2

Factor out the common term; 2

2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2

Cancel out 2

2x - 5 = 5x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x

Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2

-5 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

-5 + 2 = 3x

Simplify -5 + 2 to -3

-3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 1 = x

Switch sides

Answer:

The number of men was $80$

The number of women was $70$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Having organized a bingo has raised $1900. For the entrance of men $15 and women $10 and an attendance of 150 people has been reported. Determine the number of men and the number of women who participated in the bingo.

Let

x----> the number of men

y----> the number of women

we know that

$x+y=150$

$x=150-y$ -----> equation A

$15x+10y=1,900$ -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

$15(150-y)+10y=1,900$

$2,250-15y+10y=1,900$

$15y-10y=2,250-1,900$

$5y=350$

$y=70$

Find the value of x

$x=150-70=80$

therefore

The number of men was $80$

The number of women was $70$
