• To find the value of y

• To solve for x

• To eliminate fractions

• To simplify the equation

What does the equation x / (x + 20) = 24 / 54 represent?

• An equation with no solution

• A multiplication problem

• A comparison of two fractions

• A simple addition problem

What method is used to eliminate the fractions in the equation?

• Subtraction

• Cross multiplication

• Addition

• Division

After cross multiplication, what expression do we get on the left side of the equation?

• 24x

• x + 20

• 480

• 54x

What is the purpose of cross multiplication in this context?

• To multiply fractions

• To divide fractions

What operation is performed to distribute 24 in the equation?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

• Multiplication

What is the result of multiplying 24 by 20?

• 480

• 600

• 720

• 240

What is the equation after distributing 24?

• 54x = 24x

• 54x = 24x + 480

• 54x = 24x - 480

• 54x = 480

What is the significance of the number 480 in the equation?

• It is the result of 24 multiplied by 20

• It is the initial value of x

• It is the final value of x

• It is the result of 54 multiplied by 20

What is the next step after distributing 24 in the equation?

• Divide both sides by 24

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Subtract 24x from both sides

• Add 24 to both sides
