Well at first you take the numerator (the top number) and divide it by the denominator (the lower number) that'll give you the whole number. then you would reduce only the fraction. for example lets say that we have 4/8 We know that at the very least since they are both even numbers we can divide by so so if we do that we have 2/4 oh look, even numbers again and divide both sides by two again and you get 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation: Any line parallel to 2x+3y+11=0 is the form 2x+3y =k this can also be written as x/(k/2)+y/k/3 =1 this is the line whose sum of the intercepts is 15, then k/2 +k/3 = 15 after solving we get that indeedk= 18.
