Step-by-step explanation:

just look what happened :

every term was multiplied by a factor with the value 1 (to keep the original value) but to establish a common denominator.

a/b was multiplied by d/d, and c/d was multiplied by b/b, so that the common denominator is then bd.

so, the first answer option is correct.

although I am a bit unhappy with its phrasing.

but the other options are definitely wrong.

Earnings You work for 4 h on Saturday and 8 h on Sunday. You also receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164. How much did you earn per
marshall27 [118]
Hello there,

best way to do this one is set up your story line....

4h + 8h + 50 = 164$...

let's make this easier to look at and combine like terms..

12h + 50 = 164$...

Beautiful!!! Now let's try and get the h alone?...

minus 50 to both sides...

12h = 114$..

now divide both sides by 12...

H= 9.50$/hour

Looks like you made 9.50$ an hour but Hey, at least you got that bonus ;)

What is a / b (2x - 12) = c / d ; x ?
Alex17521 [72]

we are given

\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{c}{d}

we can solve for x

We can isolate x

step-1: Multiply both sides by b/a

\frac{b}{a}*\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{b}{a}*\frac{c}{d}

(2x-12)=\frac{bc}{ad}

step-2:Add 12 both sides

(2x-12)+12=\frac{bc}{ad}+12

2x=\frac{bc}{ad}+12

step-3: combine right side

2x=\frac{bc+12ad}{ad}

step-4:Divide both sides by 2

x=\frac{bc+12ad}{2ad}..............Answer
