The denominator of a fraction is 8 more than its numerator. If 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 3 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2. Find the fraction

pleases help as soon as possible..thank you so much

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction is 13/21.

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of a fraction is 8 more than its numerator.

Let x be the numerator: x

So the denominator is: x + 8

[tex]\frac{x}{x + 8}[/tex]

If 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 3 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2.

It will become:

[tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 8 + 3} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now, by using cross multiplication, multiply (x - 1) by 2 and (x+11) by 1.

It will become:

2x - 2 = x + 11

Now transpose and combine the same values. Make sure to change the integer sign. If the integer is positive, change it to negative when you transpose it.

2x - x = 11 + 2

x = 13

So the value of x is 13. Now to check if it is correct. Go back to the equation([tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex])

Put the value of x in it.

[tex]\frac{13-1}{13+11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

12/24 is equivalent to 1/2 so that is correct.

Now, to find the main fraction. Go back to the original equation which is;

([tex]\frac{x}{x + 8}[/tex])

Put the value of x.

[tex]\frac{13}{8 + 13}[/tex]

= 13/21

Not a verified expert but I put much effort to answer your question. Hope it helps:)

Conor earns $9 an hour for yard work. He raked leaves one afternoon and earned $29.25.
How much does Conor earn for each minute he does yard work?
Hint: There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

Answers

29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25. You have to take the total amount of money he made $29.25 and divide it by the amount he gets every hour $9. So 29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25 or 3 hours and 15 minutes.

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of ocins is 23 how many quarters and how many nickels does kat have

Answers

Answer: 9 quarters and 14 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

9*25=225

14*5=70

225+70=295

The total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9 and this can be determined by forming the linear equation.

Given :

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of coins is 23.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of quarters and nickels Kat have:

Step 1 - Let the total number of quarters be 'x' and the total number of nickels be 'y'.

Step 2 - Remember one quarter is equal to $0.25 and one nickel is $0.05.

Step 3 - The total amount of money Kat has:

0.25x + 0.05y = 2.95  --- (1)

Step 4 - Total number of coins is given by:

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y    --- (2)

Step 5 - Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (1).

0.25(23 - y) + 0.05y = 2.95

5.75 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 2.95

2.8 = 0.20y

y = 14

Step 6 - Now, substitute the value of 'y' in equation (2).

x = 23 - 14

x = 9

So, the total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9.

An arithmetic sequence is given below.
15, 19, 23 ,27 …
Write an explicit formula for the nth term an

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means every new term is the previous term plus a certain constant.

as we can see, this constant is +4 in our case.

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27

...

so, we have

a1 = 15

a2 = a1 + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

a3 = a2 + 4 = a1 + 4 + 4 = a1 + 2×4 = 15 + 8 = 23

...

an = an-1 + 4 = a1 + (n-1)×4 = 15 + (n-1)×4

the distance between town A and town B is 123 km. Two buses begin their journey and move directly toward each other. From town A, the bus is moving at a speed of 45 km/hr and from town B, the bus is moving at a speed of 67 km/hr. Assuming the buses started at the same time, find how far is their meeting point from town A? ​

Answers

Answer:

Speed of slower bus = 50mph and

speed of faster bus = 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of first bus be x mph

Then speed of second bus = x+10 mph.

Let A and B have a distance d.

Then given that faster bus reached in 3.5 hours.

i.e.  ... i

THe other bus was away from B by 1/6 times d.

Distance travelled by slower bus = 1-1/6 = 5d/6  

Time taken = 3.5 hours

i.e.  ... ii

Divide i by ii to eliminate d.

ie Speed of slower bus = 50mph and

speed of faster bus = 60 mph

Use ii equation

Give coordinates for three possible pairs of points for the other two verticies...

Answers

Answer:

A) (-1,3) and (4,3)

B) (-1,-7) and (4,-7)

C) (1.5, .5) and (1.5, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 and 2, because the y-values of the points are the same, the length of the square can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates.

4-(-1)=4+1=5

The length of the side of the square is 5.

1. For the first set of points, the square is above the two given points so just add 5 to the y-values

-2+5=3

This gives you the points:

(-1,3) and (4,3)

2. For the second set of points, the square is below the two given points so subtract 5 from the y-values.

-2-5=-7

This give you the points:

(-1,-7) and (4,-7)

3. The third answer is when the two given points are on opposite corners

of the square.

Here the diagonal is equal to 5 since they are on opposite corners of the square.

The diagonal of a square can be found with the pythagorean theorem

Since we have the diagonal we can find the side lengths we need.

[tex]2s^2=25[/tex]

s=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} }[/tex]

s=3.5355

We want the new vertices to be in the middle of the other vertices x-coordinates

[tex]\frac{4-(-1)}{2} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

The new vertices will be 2.5 units away from the other vertices

-1+2.5=1.5

The new vertices will be at x=1.5

Now we need the pythagorean theorem again to find the y-values

[tex](2.5)^2+h^2=(3.5355)^2[/tex]

[tex]6.25+h^2=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} -6.25}[/tex]

h=2.5

The new vertices will be:

(1.5, -2+2.5)=(1., .5)

(1.5, -2-2.5)=(1.5, -4.5)

Graph the line with the equation y = 6/5x-2
