Reduce the fraction to the lowest term

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce the fraction to the lowest term, we divide the like term by the GCF of its numerator and denominator.

Here,

As 4 and 8 have the GCF as 4 itself. We divide both the numerator and denominator with the GCF (4).

Hence,

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
