Since in this equation we are dividing 17/2 by 1/4, we can think of this as multiplying 17/2 with 4/1 (or 4).
17 4
---- X ----- = 34
2 1
Our final answer is 34 days.
Only problem is with the simplifying.
We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.
Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
