Question 1130812: If (w+z) (t+v) = x + y, then (w+z)/(t+v) =
A. (t+v)/(x+y)
B. (x+y)/(t+v)
C. [(t+v)/(x+y)]^2
D. [(x+y)^2]/(t+v)
E. (x+y)/[(t+v)^2] Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
Take the first equation and divide on both sides by (t+v)^2.
The left side of the new equation will be the left side of the second equation; so the right side of the new equation (the answer to the problem) will be the right side of the new equation.
