Question

Before an algebraic fraction is selected as a final answer what should you always check?

Answer 1

a variable numerator

Explanation:

Answer 2

Before an algebraic fraction is selected as a final answer we check that the fractions are reduced with all common factors canceled.

Explanation:

Before an algebraic fraction is selected as a final answer, we check that the answer is in the form of p/q, where q≠0 and HCF(p,q)=1.

Let a algebraic equation is

`4x+4=18`

Subtract 4 from both sides.

`4x=14`

Divide both sides by 4.

`x=(14)/(4)`

Now cancel out the common factors.

`x=(7)/(2)`

The final answer in algebraic fraction is 7/2.

Therefore, before an algebraic fraction is selected as a final answer we check that the fractions are reduced with all common factors canceled.
