How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
- List the factors of A
- List the factors of B
- Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
- Divide A and B each by the GCF
- Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given expression</u>
<u>Solving for x</u>
- 4px + 4 = 64
- 4px = 60
- px = 15
- x = 15/p
<u>Value of x when p= - 5</u>
Answer:
its 13
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.
3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.
the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.
the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.
3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6
substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6
the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.
