This might have your answer, I'm so sorry if I'm wrong.
Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4, meaning that when they are both divided by this number they wll be in their simplest form.
e.g. 8/4=2 and 20/4=5
Therefore the simplest form is 2/5
Answer:
First one: x = all real numbers
Second one: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
for the first one
given 8x+10=2(4x+5) we need to isolate the variable (x) using inverse operations
step 1 distribute the 2 to what is in the parenthesis ( 4x and 5 )
2 * 4x = 8x
5 * 2 = 10
now we have 8x + 10 = 8x + 10
step 2 subtract 8x from each side
8x - 8x = 0
8x - 8x = 0
now we have 10 = 10
subtract 10 from each side
10 - 10 = 0
10 - 10 = 0
we're left with 0 = 0 meaning that all real numbers are solutions
For the second one
given 3x-8=2(x-4) once again we need to isolate the variable using inverse operations
step 1 distribute the 2 to what is in the parenthesis (x - 4)
2 *x = 2x
2 * -4 = -8
now we have 3x - 8 = 2x - 8
step 2 add 8 to each side
-8 + 8 = 0
-8 + 8 = 0
now we have 2x = 3x
step 3 subtract 2x from each side
3x - 2x = x
2x - 2x = 0
we're left with x = 0
