Answer:


(4)/(15)

Explanation:

Number sentence:
30x^(2) =
8x

You can start by applying algebra to the left side of the equation by dividing each side by x. This should be how it looks now: 30x = 8

Now divide each side by 30 to keep reducing it:
x = (8)/(30)

Now that we have
(8)/(30), we can reduce that by dividing the top and bottom by 2:


(8)/(30) = (4)/(15).

Therefore, the number is
(4)/(15).
