This question is impossible to solve.
this is why:
if 4x-4=0
then x=1
so if 8x + 4 = 8
then x is false.
I get these question quite a lot in my GCSEs.
you have to prove why they are fake.
no. of boys : no.of girls
100 : 140
to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor
Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20
the simplest ratio will be
100/20 : 140/20
5:7
5:7 is the simplest ratio
X=5 if that's what you were asking for
