The denominator of a fraction is 5 more than the numerator. if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4. find the original fraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Numerator of the fraction = x

Denominator of the fraction = x + 5

The fraction is

x / (x + 5)

if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4.

x + 3 / (x + 5) + 3 = 3/4

x + 3 / x + 8 = 3/4

Cross multiply

(x + 3)4 = (x + 8)3

4x + 12 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 - 12

x = 12

Recall,

x / (x + 5)

= 12 / (12 + 5)

= 12/17

The original equation = 12/17

Write an expression in simplified form for the area of each rectangle. Width: 7 Length: 5n-9

Answers

Answer:

35n - 63

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by

A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width

A = 7(5n-9)

Distribute

A = 35n - 63

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

Length is 5n-9

Width is 7

⇛Area = 5n-9(7)

⇛Area = 33n - 63

Explain why they substituted cos(60) with 1/2 ?

(Look at image)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  equals can be substituted anytime anywhere

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(60°) = 1/2, so wherever one appears, the other can be substituted. This is allowed by the substitution property of equality.

__

If you don't substitute at some point, you find the answer to be ...

  x = 10/cos(60°)

Most of us are interested in a numerical value for x, so we prefer that cos(60°) be replaced by a numerical value.

I need help ASAP!!!Please explain the answer

Answers

Answer:

The formula for area is length times width.

it's 8m long, and 6m wide. When we multiply it, we get 48m that is for one side of the cube, so we count how many sides there is. There's 6, so we multiply 6 times 48 and the complete surface area for the whole cube is 288m

Violet is playing a board game with her friends. She earns 78 points during the game, and she receives a game-end bonus for achieving her secret objective. With her bonus, Violet came in second place with 91 points. Let b be the number of points Violet earned for the game-end bonus. Write and solve an equation for b.

Answers

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

78 + b = 91            Equation: Subtract 78 from both sides.

b = 91 - 78            

b = 13

You don't need her position in the game or the fact that 91 placed her second.

In a group of 60 numbers, average of
the first 35 numbers is 18, that of next
15 numbers is 10 and that of the
remaining is 30. What is the average
of the entire group of numbers?
a)
16
b)
17
c)
18
d)
19

Answers

Answer:

c. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would find the total sum of the 60 numbers. The average is always the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers.

35*18=630

15*10=150

Now we do not know how many numbers the last group has. However, we can find it out doing 60-35-15 to see how many numbers are left. There would be 10 numbers left

10*30=300

630+150+300=1080

1080/60=18

Hence, the answer is C(18)

By BODMAS rule...

= -2x-5xy+6

hope you understood...

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression to simplify. According to PEMDAS

(Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtract [in that order]), we need to start with the parentheses first.

With what we are given, we need to multiply the value outside of the parenthesis to the values inside the parenthesis.

Start with the first set of terms in the expression.

3(x - xy)

We need to multiply 3 to the x and negative xy.

3x - 3xy

Now we go to the next set of terms in the expression.

-x(2y + 5)

Distribute the x (multiply) to the 2y and 5.

-2xy - 5x

Now, we combine like terms within the entire expression.

Combining like terms is essentially saying to combine the terms that have similar properties/values. We have values that have an x with it, and xy with it, and no variables with it. We can combine only the values with the x variable together, and the values with the xy variable can only be combined together. The values without the variables (if you have more than one), will combine only with each other.

3x - 3xy - 2xy - 5x + 6

____________________________________________

-5xy - 2x + 6   <- This is the final answer; the simplified version of the expression.

What is algebra?

Algebra is a discipline of mathematics that deals with symbols and the rules that govern their use.

Equations in mathematics express relationships between variables in the same way that sentences indicate relationships between specific words.

Let's represent Marissa's current age "x".

According to the given question, in 16 years she will be five times older than she is today, which we can express as:

x + 16 = 5x

Solving for x, we can subtract x from both sides:

16 = 4x

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 4

Therefore, Marissa is currently 4 years old.

situation?
Use this space to write down notes or work through problems
Your teacher will see what you wrate.

Answers

Answer:

10.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y = Total fee

Initial fee = $10.20

Yearly fee = $3.90

Number of years = x

The equation:

y = 3.90x + 10.20

Recall,

y = mx + c

Where,

x = slope

c = y - intercept

Therefore,

The y - intercept from y = 3.90x + 10.20 is 10.20

Answer:

p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 19p - 2p + 16p + 12 = - 18 ( simplify left side )

The value of the car at the end of the first year is £9680.
In each of the second year, the third year, fourth year and the fifth year, the value of the car decreases by
x% of its value at the beginning of each year.

(b) Work out the value of x.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of the car at the end of the first year = £9680

Depreciation = 12 %

Original price = £ x

If we reduce 12% of original price from x, we will get £9680

x - 12% of x  = £ 9680

[tex]x-\frac{12}{100}x=9680\\\\\\\frac{88}{100}x=9680\\\\x=9680*\frac{100}{88}\\\\x = 11000[/tex]
