Getting the simplest form of a fraction is the same with getting its lowest term. Reducing fractions to its lowest term is a very simple thing to do. Here's how to simplify fractions:
There are two ways in simplifying fractions. The first method is to equally divide both numerator and denominator which results to only whole numbers. Getting the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) or GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the second method.
As to the fraction above, 39/250, the second method is applicable.
Let us get the GCF of 39 and 250
39= 1,3,13,39
250= 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250
Therefore, the GCF of 39 and 250 is 1. We can conclude then that 39/250 is already on its simplest form thus;
<u>39</u> ÷ <u>1</u> is equal to <u>39</u>
250 1 250

We can form this algebraic equation to work the equation out:
16 + 2x = -24
2x = -40
x - 20
Hope I helped.
Answer:
length = 14 m
width = 7 m
Step-by-step explanation:
l = length
w = width
l = 2w - 8
w(2w - 8) = 42
2w² - 8w - 42 = 0
you can factor out a 2 to work with smaller numbers:
w² - 4w - 21 = 0
(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0
w = 7
'w' cannot equal a negative so we discount it as an answer
find length:
l = 2(7) - 8
l = 14 - 8 or 6m
