(2x+6)/10 = (x+6)/8
10(x+6) = 8(2x+6)
10x + 60 = 16x + 48
6x = 12
x = 2
so
AE = 2(2) +6
AE = 4 + 6
AE = 10
10(x+6) = 8(2x+6)
10x + 60 = 16x + 48
6x = 12
x = 2
so
AE = 2(2) +6
AE = 4 + 6
AE = 10
The given fraction is:
We cannot take anything common from the numerator but from the denominator we can take out 2 as common because 2 is a factor of both the terms i.e. 2y and 10.
2y + 10 can be written as 2y +2(5) which can further be written as 2(y+5)
So, our fraction now becomes:
y+5 occurs in both the numerator and denominator and thus be cancelled out leaving behind:
Therefore, the given fraction in lowest term is equal to 1/2. So option B is the correct answer
