I did the first section of the question. I rearranged a = 4b / (6c -5d) to be c = (A b/a) + Bd

but then it says express A and B as fractions in their simplest form. Is the question worded wrong? I've never seen anything like this before?

Can you rearrange

[tex]a=\frac{4b}{6c-5d}[/tex]

into something like

[tex]c=...[/tex]
