Et the numerator be x, so the denominator is x + 4. So we have: 

<span>x/(x + 4) = 9/15 (cross multiply) </span>
<span>15x = 9(x + 4) </span>
<span>15x = 9x + 36 </span>
<span>15x </span>- 9x<span> = 9x - </span>9x<span> + 36 </span>
<span>6x = 36 </span>
6x/6<span> = 36</span>/6
x = 6
x + 4<span> = 6 + 4 = </span>10

<span>Sine the numerator is 6 and the denominator is 10, then the fraction is 6/10, which in the simplest form is equal to 3/5. </span>

<span>Since 9/15 in the simplest form is also equal to 3/5, then 6/10 is equivalent to 9/15. </span>

<span>Thus, 6/10 is the required fraction. hope  i helped</span>

\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{9}{15}
\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{5}
5x = 3(x + 4)
5x = 3(x) + 3(4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
x = 6

Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number
DaniilM [7]
Greetings!

"<span>Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
</span>6x+20=8x-4

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)
Simplify.
24=2x
Divide both sides by 2.
(24)/2=(2x)/2
Simplify.
12=x
x=12
<span>
x=12

Hope this helps.
