Question
$$\frac{44}{8}-\frac{216}{19} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{44}{8}-\frac{216}{19} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 152 }. \\[1 em]152\cdot\frac{44}{8}-152\cdot\frac{216}{19} &= 152\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]836-1728 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-892 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -892 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
