You re write the equation, so when the equations are added one of the variables are eliminated
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:
3 dollars for each can of tuna
Step-by-step explanation:
9-3=6
6-3=3
3-3=0
-6g + 36 = 12
36 = 12 + 6g
24 = 6g
4 = g
g = 4
I would say 19.
If you take out the 6s and just look at the rest you have 4, 9, 14.
It is adding 5 each time and just have a 6 between each one.
So logically I would say 19.
