Step-by-step explanation:
Here are some simple observations regarding how to reduce a fraction into simpler terms:
- A fraction is reduced to lowest or simplest terms by finding an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and denominator are as small as possible.
- In order to reduce a fraction to lowest or simplest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by their (GCF). Note that (GCF) is also called Greatest Common Factor .
So, lets take a sample fraction and reduce into simpler terms.
Considering the fraction
so
Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction is .

Solving for x you would get X=6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the value of x so that the function has the given value in the following:
1) h(x) = -7x; h(x)=63
From the function given above,
If h(x) = 63, then,
h(x) = 63 = -7x
-7x = 63
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -7, it becomes
-7x/-7 = 63/-7
x = - 9
2) m(x) = 4x + 15; m(x)=7
From the function given above,
If m(x) = 7, then,
m(x) = 7 = 4x + 15
7 = 4x + 15
4x = 15 - 7 = 8
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2
3) q(x) = 1/2x - 3; q(x) = -4
From the function given above,
If q(x) = - 4, then,
q(x) = - 4 = 1/(2x - 3) =
Cross multiplying,
-4(2x-3) = 1
-8x +12 = 1
Collecting like terms,
-8x = 1 - 12
-8x = -11
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -8, it becomes
-8x/8 = -11/-8
x = 11/8
Do you need the area of the floor plan? If so here you go:
6*4 = 24, so 24 cm.
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
