Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.
Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.
Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12. Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.
Now we just use algebra.
x/(x+4) = 8/12
12x = 8(x+4)
12x = 8x + 32
4x = 32
x = 8
So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
Answer: 5.66666666667
Step-by-step explanation: Thanks and have a Savage day.
Answer:
The answer is (2,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
If it's just distribution, not solving for s (I mean I could but do you need to?):
5(2s² - 3s + 4) Distribute/multiply 5 into (2s² - 3s + 4)
(5)2s² - (5)3s + (5)4
10s² - 15s + 20
I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:
Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m
b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67
So this would be Maggie's age
I hope this helped :)
