Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the numerator of the rational number then 2x is the denominator
original fraction = 
subtracting 3 from numerator and adding 7 to denominator , gives
= 
( cross- multiply )
5(x - 3) = 2(2x + 7) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
5x - 15 = 4x + 14 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
x - 15 = 14 ( add 15 to both sides )
x = 29
rational number =
Answer:
y = 2, x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 10 + 3y
xy = 32
Solve.
y = 2.
x = 16
Just replace x with whatever , and see if it works. If it works then it is a solution; otherwise it's not.
1^2 is not 2
(1/2)^2 isn't 2 either...
and so on
Answer: If x is odd then x + 2 is going to be the next odd integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation and solve.
x + x + 2 = 92 This is the equation. Collect like terms.
2x + 2 = 92 Subtract 2
2x = 90 divide by 2
x =45
x + 2 = 47
45 + 47 = 92.
So x + 2 is the next odd number after x.
