Question

If one 1+1 to 2+2 is 8....... Then what the hell is this?

Answer 1

X=2.6

Explanation:

This shows 'cross multiplying'

This is a 'short cut' method of finding the common denominator of two fractions in order to 'work' with them :

2/x = 10/13 <==== common denominator is 13x

so multiply the L side by 13/13 and the right side by x/x to get

26/13x = 10x / 13x Now with common denominator, you can solve.

Equate the numerators :

26 = 10x <====== there is your 'short cut' found by cross multiplying

x = 26/10 = 2.6

Answer 2

it’s cross multiplication.

Explanation:

I’m wondering if you had a teacher that was trying to explain this and even online I had a teacher who would explain something when nobody understood the topic.

1. 2 * 13 = 26

2. 10 * x = 10x

26 = 10x
