Hey there!

if "x" equals "4"

So, your problem becomes:

14/4 = 56/16

So, this means that this statement is very true because we had to simplify the factors , which gave us: 7/2 (as a decimal: 3.5)
14 goes into 2, 7 times. So, 14/4 - 7/2 = 0
7 - 7 / 2
7 - 7 = 0
2 = 2
7 -7 / 0 = 2 / 0
0 = 0

Answer: this statement is very "true"

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
