Simplify the quantity {(x + 6)/12}/{(x - 8)/10}.
Solution:
Given: Expression is {(x + 6)/12}/{(x - 8)/10}
It can be written as
= (x + 6)/12 × 10/(x - 8)
By taking 2 common in both numerator and denominator
= [(x + 6)/ 2(6)] × [2(5)/ (x - 8)]
By further simplification
= (x + 6)/6 × 5/(x - 8)
So we get,
= 5(x + 6)/6(x - 8)
Therefore, by simplifying the quantity we get 5(x + 6)/6(x - 8).
Simplify the quantity {(x + 6)/12}/{(x - 8)/10}.
Summary:
Simplifying the quantity {(x + 6)/12}/{(x - 8)/10} we get 5(x + 6)/6(x - 8).
