So the first thing you do is dove the equations. Let's do the numerator equation. 8(2)-4 is simply saying 8•2-4 and i don't know if u learned this in class yet but you do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction so 8•2=16-4=12 so now 12 is our numerator. Now for the denominator, 8/4=2 so 2 is our denominator. We have 12/2 but it can be simplified to 6 because 6 goes into 12 twice and u cans check this by doing 6•2=12
Hope this helps m8 :))
4 loaves : 6 cups
That simplifies to 2 loaves : 3 cups
So, your ratio is 2:3
(4a + 6b) x (2a - 2b)
the answer would be 8a2 + 4ab - 12b2
Let x = small number
Let y = large number
Because they are consecutive even numbers,they must have a difference of 2:
y-x=2
y=2+x
Eqn 1: x+(2+x)=14
Eqn 2: x(2+x)=48
2x+2=14
2x=12
x=6
This means y must be 8
so your two numbers are 6 and 8
