Remember
anything times 1=same thing and

x/x=1 where x=x
so
mutliply both fractions by what makes the bottom numbers 40
1/5
5 times what=40?
answer is 8
multily by 1 or 8/8
1/5 times 8/8=8/40

7/8
8 is bottom
8 times what is 40? answer is 5
multiply by 1 or 5/5
7/8 times 5/5=35/40
1/5=8/40
7/8=35/40
they are not equal

No because you multiply 1/5 by 8 ans you will get 8/40 mean while you got 7/8 and multiply that by 5 and you get 35/40 so the answer is no

A hotel off two activity packages.one costs $192 and includes 3h of horseback riding and 2h of parasailing. The second costs $21

Pie

H = cost of horseback riding per hr, p = cost of parasailing per hr
3h + 2p = 192...multiply by 2
2h + 3p = 213..multiply by -3
------------------
6h + 4p = 384 (result of multiplying by 2)
-6h - 9p = - 639 (result of multiplying by -3)
-----------------add
-5p = - 255
p = -255/-5
p = 51 <== cost of 1 hr for parasailing

3h + 2p = 192
3h + 2(51) = 192
3h + 102 = 192
3h = 192 - 102
3h = 90
h = 90/3
h = 30 <== cost of 1 hr of horseback riding

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{We cannot do much of nothing because we don’t have all the information}\\\large\text{to solve.. so we can just simply do process of elimination until we fully find}\\\large\text{the ANSWER you are trying to look for.}$

$\large\text{Given equation: 25b - 14b}\\\large\text{COMBINE your LIKE TERMS}\\\large\text{\underline{25b - 14b} = 11b}\\\large\text{So, we are looking for an equation that gives us \bf{11b}}$

$\large\text{Option A.}\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 - 14)}\\\large\text{DISTRIBUTE: b(25) + b(-14)}\\\bullet\large\text{ Reverts to: 25b - 14b (our ORIGINAL EQUATION) so this can be}\\\large\text{equal to 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option A. could POSSIBLY be your ANSWER}$

$\large\text{Option B. }\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 + 14)}\\\large\text{Distribute}\\\large\text{25(b) + 14(b)}\\\large\text{It DOES NOT revert to the original equation. It gives us: 25b + 14b}\\\large\text{If we COMBINE your LIKE TERMS in that equation. We would get: 39b}\\\large\bf{39b \neq 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option B is NOT your ANSWER}$
