How do I simplify a quotient?

Question

Heres the problem---

28x-14

----------

7

Answer 1

hmmmm u need to find some1 who knows the answer!!!! Try asking a parent!!!

Answer 2

cross out the 7 n change the 28 to a 4 (simplify a fraction)

then multiply 4 and -14 to get -56

dont think of it as a quotient think of it as a fraction so simplify n try 2 get rid of the denominator (bottom number) so u can turn it into a whole number

o... n the person above me is wrong...

another way 2 do it is to solve the numerator (top number) first

so multiply 28 and -14 to get -392

then divide it by 7 to get the same answer -56

Answer 3

Okay. Forget solving the problem. You're just simplifying.

So. . .

What goes into the numbers 28, 14, and 7?

Seven, right?

So divide all of the numbers by 7.

You'll get:

4x - 2

--------

1

Or just:

4x - 2

There's your answer!

And that's it! Hope I helped!!
