Ok sooooooooooo
Lets say your two fractions are
13/26 and 20/40
you can divide the bottom number by the top one and if you get the same answer for both then they are equivalent. For these you get 2 for both, which means they are equivalent.
another example would be if your fractions are
2/5 and 4/10
You can say well 2*2 equals 4 And 5*2 equals ten so these are equivalent fractions.
1. Translate words into equation :
Brian= b
Natasha =n
N+3n=88 (because brian has 3x more than natasha u can rewrite b as 3n)
2. Solve : 4n=88 (divide by 4)
N=22 so natasha has 22 marbles and since b=3n, brian has 66 marbles
Distribute multiplication over addition and subtraction:
3x+ 12y+10x-5y
Combine like terms:
13 x +7y
