    Answer:What was done from the first to the second equation was that the fraction was simplified. 126 and 32 have a common factors of 2.

    126/32 = (63*2) / (16*2)

    The 2s in the top and bottom can cancel out, leaving the fraction 63/16.

    In addition, since there are x terms on the top and bottom, they cancelled out as well.

    x/x^3=1/x^2

    This leaves an x^2 term on the bottom.

    Thus, if a is 16, and b is 2, you will have an equivalent form of the fraction.
