Number 4. will be a. because if you do 7*9=63*10=630.
In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
x - 8 = -10
x = -2
To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10
-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10
-22 = -22
I hope this helps!
