No, 3/8 is equal to 12/32 and 3/4 is equal to 24/32 so they aren't equivalent. Hope this helped!!!

If 2 is added to both the numerator and denominator of a fraction its value becomes half. If two is subtracted from both the num
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The original fraction is \frac{6}{14}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

Let the fraction be'\frac{x}{y}'.

Where 'x' is the numerator and 'y' is the denominator.

Now according to question, if 2 is added to both the numerator and denominator the value of the fraction becomes 1/2.

So, framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

\frac{x+2}{y+2}=\frac{1}{2}

On using cross multiplication method, we get;

2(x+2)=y+2\\\\2x+4=y+2\\\\2x+4-2=y\\\\\therefore\ y=2x+2\ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now according to question, if 2 is Subtracted to both the numerator and denominator the value of the fraction becomes 1/3.

So, framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

\frac{x-2}{y-2}=\frac{1}{3}

On using cross multiplication method, we get;

3(x-2)=y-2\\\\3x-6=y-2\\\\3x-y=-2+6\\\\3x-y=4 \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Now Substituting the equation 1 in equation 1 we get;

3x-y=4\\\\3x-(2x+2)=4\\\\3x-2x-2=4\\\\3x-2x=4+2\\\\x=6

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

y=2x+2\\\\y=2\times6+2 = 14

Hence The original fraction is \frac{6}{14}.

Find the 13th term of the arithmetic sequence -3x+7, -5x+3, -7x-1, ...
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a₁₃ = - 27x - 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 3x + 7

d = a₂ - a₁ = - 5x + 3 - (- 3x + 7)

                 = - 5x + 3 + 3x - 7

                 = - 2x - 4

Then

a₁₃ = - 3x + 7 + 12(- 2x - 4)

     = - 3x + 7 - 24x - 48

     = - 27x - 41

What is the solution for 2x -4= -8
scoray [572]

Answer:

  x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  3x +  9 = 153

 

subtract 9 from both sides               -9       -9

 

                                                     3x = 144

 

divide both sides by 3                    3x/3 = 144/3

2x + (x + 9) = 153

 

2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153

 

96 + 57 = 153

 

153 = 153
