Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

you must have made a typo here.

none of the answer options are correct for the given problem.

let me just show you what you told me, and how I can solve at least this :

2a/4 = b/4

this simply means (multiply both sides by 4) :

2a = b

so, 5b is then (multiplying both sides by 5) :

5×2a = 5b

10a = 5b

but again, "10a" is not among the offered answers.

so, I don't know if you made a mistake with the basic problem or with the answer options.
