Question

PLZ HELP SIMPLIFYING!!!

Answer 1

Simplify the quantity x plus 6 over 12, all over the quantity x minus 8 over 10

Answer 2

\(\bf \cfrac{\frac{x+6}{12}}{\frac{x-8}{10}}\qquad recall\implies {\color{blue}{ \cfrac{\quad \frac{a}{b}\quad }{\frac{c}{d}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{d}{c}}}\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{\frac{x+6}{12}}{\frac{x-8}{10}}\implies \cfrac{x+6}{12}\cdot \cfrac{10}{x-8}\)

Answer 3

ok, do you now divide by 2?

Answer 4

yeap

Answer 5

and that's as much as you can simplify it

Answer 6

\(\bf \cfrac{x+6}{12}\cdot \cfrac{10}{x-8}\implies \cfrac{x+6}{\cancel{2}\cdot 6}\cdot \cfrac{\cancel{2}\cdot 5}{x-8}\)

Answer 7
