3)The original rational number was 17/12.
4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Explanation:
3)Let the numerator be x.
So denominator will be (x - 5)
If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)
New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6
Solve for X by cross multiplying
6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)
6x + 30=11x - 55
5x=85
x=17
So original rational number was 17/12.
4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7
So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4
⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)
⇒20x+16=21x+12
⇒21x−20x=16−12
⇒x=4
⇒5x=20 and 7x=28
The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Answer:
yes, i think it is correct :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From your last step:
6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 - 17x
We have two terms with x in them on different sides of the equation, so we want to bring the 'x terms' over to the same side.
Add 17x to both sides of the equation.
6.8x + 17x + 9.3 = -2.6
Collect like terms
23.8x + 9.3 = -2.6
Subtract 9.3 from both sides
23.8x = -2.6 - 9.3
23.8x = -11.9
Divide both sides by 23.8
x = -0.5
On all sides of a triangle it’s about 7 inches
