Respuesta :

Option b: [tex]\frac{2(y-2 x)}{3 y-5 x}[/tex] is the expression which is equivalent to [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{y}}{\frac{-5}{y}+\frac{3}{x}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The expression is [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{y}}{-\frac{5}{y}+\frac{3}{x}}[/tex]

To solve the expression, let us take LCM in both numerator and denominator.

Thus, we have,

[tex]\frac{\left(\frac{2 y-4 x}{x y}\right)}{\left(\frac{3 y-5 x}{x y}\right)}[/tex]

Dividing both fractions, we have,

[tex]\frac{2y-4x}{ 3y-5x}[/tex]

From numerator, let us take the common term 2 out,

[tex]\frac{2(y-2 x)}{3 y-5 x}[/tex]

Thus, the expression equivalent to [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{y}}{\frac{-5}{y}+\frac{3}{x}}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{2(y-2 x)}{3 y-5 x}[/tex]

Hence, Option b is the correct answer.
