Is there any other number you can divide 2 and 5 by to make the fraction smaller?

This fraction is in simplest form:

=2/5

Solution

In order to simplify a fraction there must be:

1. A number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator so it can be reduced. No such number exists for 2 and 5.

or

2. The numerator must be greater than the denominator, (an improper fraction), so it can be converted to a mixed number. 2 is not greater than 5.

This fraction is in simplest form:

=2/5

Hope this helps!

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14

step-by-step explanation:

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
