(a + b)/(a - b) = (c + d)/(c - d) cross multiply

(a + b)(c - d) = (a - b)(c + d)

ac - ad + bc - bd = ac + ad - bc - bd

-ad + bc = -bc + ad

-ad - ad = - bc - bc

-2ad = -2bc

ad = bc that is the product of the means equals the product of the extremes

a/b = b/c

What is communtative property?

Commutative, not communtative The mathematical property of being able to change the order of the numbers and not change the answer. A plus B equals B plus A (1 plus 3 equals 4, 3 plus 1 equals 4) A times B equals B times A (2 times 5 equals 10, 5 times 2 equals 10) Addition and multiplication are commutative operators A minus B is not necessarily equal to B minus A (6 minus 4 equals 2, 4 minus 6 equals minus 2) A divided B is not necessarily equal to B divided A (9 divided by 3 equals 3, 3 divided by 9 equals one-third) Subtraction and division are not commutative operators
