Question

Identify the expression as an equation containing fractions, a fractional equation, or a proportion.
x/12=17/3-2x/9-5+3x/12

Answer 1

let's review some terms:
- equation containing fractions: an expression setting two quantities equal to each other, that also contains fractions

- fractional equation: an equation containing fractions, with one or more unknowns in the *denominator*

- proportion: an equation setting two fractions equal to each other (i.e 1/2 = 2/4)

with that in mind, which one do you think best applies to your problem?
