Let's plug in 2 anywhere that we see an
:



Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 3, so we can divide 3 out of each to get the final answer:


Here is what you have to do first, combine like terms. On the left side do x-3x (you can do 1x-3x because x is just 1 variable, so I can see why you put 1x instead of x). Then combine -3-1. Then add the x answer on the left side to the 2x on the other side then you can figure out the rest. The reason why I want you to figure out the rest is because I'm just helping you and you need to get the answer yourself.
To find the least number of rows she can make will be found by finding the biggest way to divide these into equal groups (greatest common factor).
You can use prime factorizations of each number to find the gcf.
150 - 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
360 - 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5
The common prime numbers are 2 x 3 x 5
You can make 12 (360/30) rows of pink and 5 (150/30) rows of red.
