I'm not sure but i think that it is because you can actually do it
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3
Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
So 9/12 reduces to 3/4
In other words, 9/12 = 3/4
--------------------------------------
Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5
3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20
So 3/4 = 15/20
--------------------------------------
So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.
In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
Answer:
-z+4=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to move the positive four to the other side to isolate the variable.
-z=-8
You cannot have a negative variable, so divide both sides by 1.
-z/1=-8/1
Your answer would be:
Z=8
Hope this helps!!
