A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.
The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.
This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).
Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.
Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4(x−2)=6x+18
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−2)=6x+18
(4)(x)+(4)(−2)=6x+18(Distribute)
4x+−8=6x+18
4x−8=6x+18
Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.
4x−8−6x=6x+18−6x
−2x−8=18
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−2x−8+8=18+8
−2x=26
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x/−2=26/−2
x=−13
Answer:
x=−13
