Question

Divide these two fractions

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2x }{ x+4 } \div \frac{ 6 }{ x+3 }\]

Answer 2

K so reverse and multiply, Ist step
2x x+3
---- x -----
x+4 6

Answer 3

like cross multiply them

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

Can u multiply from there or do u need more of an understanding?

Whenever u divide u always reverse reciprocal or we would just be multiplying
ex. (4/2) / (8/2) reverse reciprocal 4/2 x 2/8 = 1
So try to apply this concept to your problem!

Answer 6

Reverse, then if u can cross multiply u do so i reversed them. Yes, u can cross multiply
1st step to reverse
2x x+3
---- x -----
x+4 6
Second step cross multiply

x x+3
--- x ----
x+4 3

Third step multiply straight across:

x^2 + 3x
--------
3x+ 12

Answer 7

So do u think we can simplify from here? show me if u think u can!

Answer 8

x^2/12

Answer 9

Yes good so far!

Answer 10

Any further? (If u have learned to square both sides of an equation)

Answer 11

how would i square x^2

Answer 12

What kind of math are you in?

Answer 13

algebra 2 but math has always been my downfall

Answer 14

Because i believe its in algebra II where u learn how to square both sides of an equation, so the answer could be simplified : x^2 to sqrt each side so it undoes the ^2 and then square 12 to 3.5:
x/(sqrt)12
x/3.46 or 3.5 rounded

but if not then the answer is x^2/12

Answer 15

When i say square each side its misleading by square or undoing ^2 I can further simplify equation instead of leaving it as x^2/12, any Q's?

Answer 16

no no i think im starting to understand it

Answer 17

Want another example or do u have it, happy to help if u need it :)

Answer 18

i got it. thank you so much!

Answer 19
