Dolls : teddy bears
6 : 7
if 120 dolls are equal to 6 portions,
7 portions,
(120/6) * 7
140 teddy bears
So:
(x-4)(x+2) / (x-4)(x+4)
We cancel out the x - 4:
(x+2)/(x+4)
Restrictions: x ≠ 4, x ≠ -4
Answer:
The reason why this may be happening is because the expenses may be higher than the amount of revenue that the business is making, the cost of rent, paying the employees and running the business may be higher than the revenue that is being made. The inflows may be higher than the outflows, in which case the profit is lower than the loss and may be the reason why the owner is having trouble keeping the business running.
