When you multiply fractions, you multiply across, right? so, for example 5/7 times 4/9 will give you 20/63. So, if you do this to this problem, you will have abcd/bcde. but now you are able to cancel out the b and c and d. think of it like reducing. 5/10 is 1/2. Why? because if you reduce/factor out a 5, you get a 1 in the numerator and a 2 in the denominator. same thing here; you can factor out a b, c, and d(because they show up in both num. and denom. so what you are left with is a/e. Cheers!

aliya0001 [1]
So
1/2x+2=2/3x
convert to common fraction
1/2=3/6
2/3=4/6
3/6x+2=4/6x
subtract 3/6x from both sides
2=1/6x
multiply boh tisdes by 6
12=x
the tank can hold 12 gallon

Numbers 15-16 triangles, "Identify similar figures and find missing lengths"
Arisa [49]
15. 
Rectangles A and B are not similar, because 3/2.5 is 1.2, while 5/4.5 is about 1.1. This means that the two rectangles cannot be increased or decreased by any scale factors to equal each other. Rectangles A and C are not similar, because 3/10 is 0.3, while 5/18 is about 2.8. Rectangles B and C, however, are similar, because 2.5/10 is 0.25, and 4.5/18 is 0.25 as well. This means that Rectangle B can be increased using a scale factor of 4 to make it equal to Rectangle C.

16.
Yes. All squares are similar because, by definition, all the sides of a square are the same. This means that there is only one value to consider when finding out whether or not another square is similar to it. All numbers are divisible by another number, even if the quotient is a decimal, meaning that all squares are similar.
