Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).
So we get

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides

)
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing. This is the same as multiplying both sides by

⇒

⇒

***This is a proper fraction
You mean to simplify as this is an expression not an equation, as it has no equal sign...
Factor our 4 first
(4r^3t^2)/(-rt)
Now factor out -rt
-4r^2t
Part A
blueberries
2/8 × 6/1(drinks) = 12/8cups
banana slice
5/8 × 6/1(drinks) = 30/8cups
30/8 + 12/8 = 42/8 cups<---- that's the answer
Part B
yogurt
4/8 × 6/1 (drinks) = 24/8 cups of yogurt <---
and 6 drinks × 1 cups of ice = 6 cups of ice <---
