You have the ratio set up correctly:

2x+2/12 = x+3/21

Now cross multiply:

2x+2 * 12 = x+3 * 21

Simplify:

24x + 24 = 21x + 63

Subtract 24 from each side:

24x = 21x + 39

Subtract 21x from each side:

3x = 39

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 39/3

x = 13

yuradex [85]

Answer:

60/100

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 20 goes into 100 5 times, so we multiple numerator and denominator by 20 to get an equivalent fraction:

$\frac{3}{5} (\frac{20}{20} )=\frac{3(20)}{5(20)} =\frac{60}{100}$

Help? I forgot how to do this, I don't get the example either, I did the same thing it did but it didn't work. May you please ex

Ok, so first convert both the numbers to improper fractions. (Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number and add the numerator of the fraction)

Then keep the first number the same, change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol and use the reciprocal of the second number. (flip the numbers so that the denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.)

Then simply multiply across.
