To reduce fractions to lowest terms, find the biggest number that divides evenly into <u>both</u> the numerator and the denominator. Then divide and your new fraction should be in lowest terms if you used the biggest number. This number is called the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator.

Example:
5/10 reduces to 1/2 because 5 divides into 5 once and into 10 twice.

12/15 reduces to 4/5 because 3 divides into 12 four times, and into 15 five times.

3/4(8x-4)=7x+2 This is a linear equation please help!

aleksandrvk [35]

Simplify the left hand side by multiplying the terms in the parenthesis by 3/4, i.e. divide them by 4 and multiply them by 3:

$\dfrac{3}{4}(8x-4)=7x+2 \iff 3(2x-1)=7x+2 \iff 6x-3 = 7x+2$

Subtract 6x from both sides:

$-3=x+2$

Subtract 2 to both sides:

$x=-5$
