Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8

elie is now 4 times as old as her son. in 5 years time shes going to be 3 times as old as her son. how old is ellies son now?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Her son is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son be x

Ellie is 4x

In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5

Ellie = 4x + 5

Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15

x = 10
