Verify the Equation: Is (x+6)/(y+6) = x/y Correctly Simplified?

Question

Determine if the simplification described below is correct:

$\frac{x+6}{y+6}=\frac{x}{y}$

00:00 Determine if the reduction is correct

00:06 There's nothing to reduce, so let's compare the expressions as they are

00:14 And this is the solution to the question

We use the formula:

$\frac{x+z}{y+z}=\frac{x+z}{y+z}$

$\frac{x+6}{y+6}=\frac{x+6}{y+6}$

Therefore, the simplification described is incorrect.
