7m + 14 ------------- 5m + 10 7(m + 2) ------------- {factored 7 out of top and 5 out of bottom} 5(m + 2) 7 ---- {cancelled (m + 2) on top and bottom} 5

i have a similar problem and the answer came out to 8/4 do i simplify that or does that end the problem?
the problem is 8z-24 ------ 4Z-12
yes your answer is correct 8/4=2 you have to follow the same mathematical procedure
THANKS!
You are most welcomed
\[\frac{7m + 14}{5m + 10} = \frac{7(m + 2)}{5(m + 2)} = \frac{7}{5} = \frac{5 + 2}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = 1 + \frac{2}{5}\]
7/5 is improper fraction so reduce it to mixed fraction.
