When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction. A proper fraction has numerator and denominator mutually prime.

The amount of cake maria has is $8X$ . $X$ is some positive real number.

She eats 3 slices, then the amount of cake left with Maria is $8X-3X=5X$ .

The fraction of cake left with Maria is $\frac{5X}{8X}= \frac{5}{8}$ .

Seventy-five times an integer, minus 36, equals 21 times the square of the integer. Which equation could be used to solve for th

Verdich [7]

75n-36=21n^2 rearrange so we have an equation equal to zero...

21n^2-75n+36=0 divide whole equation by 3

7n^2-25n+12=0 now factor...

7n^2-21n-4n+12=0

7n(n-3)-4(n-3)=0

(7n-4)(n-3)=0

Since this is an integer 4/7 is extraneous.

The integer value is 3
