Q. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 42r+4249r+14 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 6r+37r+1(B) r+17r+2(C) 42r+649r+2(D) 6r+67r+2
Factor out common factors: Factor out the common factors in the numerator and the denominator.The numerator 49r+14 can be factored by taking out the common factor of 7, which gives us 7(7r+2).The denominator 42r+42 can be factored by taking out the common factor of 42, which gives us 42(r+1).So, (49r+14)/(42r+42) becomes (7(7r+2))/(42(r+1)).
Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common factors.We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 7.This gives us (7r+2)/(6(r+1)).
Expand denominator to check: Expand the denominator to check if it matches any of the answer choices.The denominator 6(r+1) expands to 6r+6.So, the simplified expression is (7r+2)/(6r+6).
