Answer:
a = 2
b = 3
c = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let us look at the first two (far left) fractions to solve for a.
Since , nothing needs to change in the numerator. 4 =
a = 2.
Next, we will look at the first and third fractions to solve for b.
= 32
32 / 4 = 8
= 8
b = 3
Lastly, we will solve for c.
All of these fractions simplify to 8 and are equal to each other.
c = 8
