The numerator of a fraction (which is in its simplest form) is 5 less than the denominator. If the numerator is multiplied by 2,

and the denominator is increased by 16, then the fraction becomes smaller by 1/3 of it. Find the original fraction.

N = d - 5

2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3

Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8

2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.

Write the equation of a line that meets all the following requirements:
LuckyWell [14K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • x + y = 5
  • y = -x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line. To meet the given requirements, we can use a point of (5, 0) and a slope of -1. Then the equation in that form is ...

  y -0 = -1(x -5)

Simplifying gives the slope-intercept form:

  y = -x +5 . . . . . . . use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses

Adding x to both sides gives the standard form:

  x + y = 5

__

<em>Explanation</em>

We know the line has the required intercept and slope because we chose those values to put into the point-slope form. Conversion from one form to another made use of the rules of equality, the additive identity element (y-0=y), and the distributive property.
