42 /48 in simplest form

First we need to find the GCF (greatest common factor)

Factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Factors of 48 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

GCF is 6

To simplify you divide numerator and denominator into the GCF

42 ÷ 6 = 7

48 ÷ 6 = 8

42/48 = 7/8

Hope this helps. :)

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

exa:

)

3+11

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
