Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator are both increased by 2
insens350 [35]

The systems of equations that could be used to solve the problem is

5n = 3d

5n = 3d3d + 5n = 4

Given:

numerator = n

denominator = d

Ratio = 3 : 5

Equation 1

n / d = 3/5

cross product

n × 5 = d × 3

5n = 3d

Equation 2

(n + 2) / (d + 2) = 3/5

cross product

(n + 2) 5 = (d + 2)3

5n + 10 = 3d + 6

collect like terms

10 - 6 = 3d - 5n

4 = 3d - 5n

3d + 5n = 4

Therefore, the systems of equations that could be used to solve the problem is

5n = 3d

5n = 3d3d + 5n = 4
