Answer:
9x
_____
3x - 5
multiply with 4 for both numerator and denominator u will get
36 x
___
4x - 20
I hope this is helpful for u
Concept:
Polynomials are the type of algebraic expressions that contain both variables and coefficients.
Given:
9x / ( 3x - 5) = ? / ( 12 x - 20)
Find:
We are asked to find the missing value to fill in the blank to make equivalent rational expressions.
Solution:
We have,
9x / ( 3x - 5) = ? / ( 12 x - 20)
Now,
Let the missing number be y,
i.e.
9x / ( 3x - 5) = y / ( 12 x - 20)
Now,
By using cross multiplication,
We get that,
9x ( 12 x - 20) = y (3 x - 5)
On solving we get,
9x (4)( 3x - 5) = y (3x - 5)
Now,
Dividing both sides by (3x - 5):
We get,
36x = y
So,
y = 36x
Hence, the missing that makes equivalent rational expressions is 36 x.
