How do I write an equivalent expression to the expression below (17x 93) / (17x 97)
Can some one help me please this is for my sons home work how do I write equivalent expression to the expression below (17 x 93) / (17x97)
the 17 would cancel, leaving you with
93/97
Ok thank u reiny
To write an equivalent expression to (17x 93) / (17x 97), you need to simplify the expression.
First, notice that you have the same variable, "x", in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, you can cancel out the "x" terms:
(17x 93) / (17x 97) = (17 * 93) / (17 * 97)
Now, you can simplify the expression further. Since the numerator and denominator both have the factor 17, you can cancel them out as well:
(17 * 93) / (17 * 97) = (1 * 93) / (1 * 97)
Finally, simplify the expression:
(1 * 93) / (1 * 97) = 93 / 97
Therefore, an equivalent expression to (17x 93) / (17x 97) is simply 93 / 97.
