if we divide 20 by 12, we get a quotient of 1, and a remainder of 8.

Given:

To find:
The simplified fraction.
Solution:
Step 1: Simplify the numerator

Step 2: Simplify the denominator

Step 3: Using step 1 and step 2

Step 4: Using fraction rule:


Cancel the common factor r and t², we get

Cancel the common factors 16 and 3 on both numerator and denominator.



The simplified fraction is
.
-3x-1 = 2-(-3)
-3x-1 = 2+3
-3x-1 = 5
-3x = 5+1
-3x = 6
x = 6/(-3)
x = -2
