Step-by-step explanation:
Two fractions are said to be equal if and only if they give the same value when simplified.
The equivalent of is as explained in the selected option;
First, divide numerator and denominator by 2
Then simplify
2/2 = 1 and 6/2 = 3; So;
Multiply numerator and denominator by 3
Hence, is equivalent to
So the left side has a common denominator of 3. The 6x, -2x, and 8 can all go over a single 3. (6x-2x+8/3). Simplify the x's to get 4x. Now both sides have to be multiplied by 3 to get rid of that fraction. Then you just have 4x+8=24. Subtract 8 from both sides to get the x's alone, then divide both sides by 4 to get x alone. I have a picture to help.
