The required number is -3 which when added to the numerator and to the denominator of 5/8 results in a fraction whose value is 0.4.
<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>
Fraction is the ratio of a particular part to the whole parts of an object. A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
The given fraction is 5/8
Consider a number as 'x' which is added to both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction.
So,
(5 + x)/(8 + x)
Since it is given that the result is 0.4 i.e., 4/10, we can write
(5 + x)/(8 + x) = 4/10
⇒ 10(5 + x) = 4(8 + x)
⇒ 50 + 10x = 32 + 4x
⇒ 10x - 4x = 32 - 50
⇒ 6x = -18
⇒ x = -18/6
∴ x = -3
Therefore, the required number is -3.
Check:
(5 + (-3))/(8 + (-3)) = (5 - 3)/(8 - 3) = 2/5 = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:
Sin<D = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Opposite - EC
Hyp - DE
Sin<D = EC/DE = x/9
we need x to find <D.
so -->Use pythagorean theorem.
DE^2 = EC^2 + DC^2
DE = 9 DC = 7 EC = ?
EC^2 = DE^2 - DC^2 rearranged.
= 9^2 - 7^2
= 81 - 49
EC^2 = 32 Put both sides under square root.
√(EC^2) = √32
EC = 4√2 ~ 5.65.
We now have X which was representing the unknown side EC.
Sin<D = EC/DE = 5.65/9 = 0.627
To find <D Take the sine inverse of of 0.627.
<D = Arcsin(0.627) = 38.82°.
We now know <D. It's <E's turn.
A right angle triangle has a summation of interior angles of 180°.
thus, <em><D + <C + <E = 180°</em>
38.82° + 90° + <E = 180°
128.82° + <E = 180°
subtract both sides by 128.82°
0 + <E = 180° - 128.82°
<em><E = 51.</em><em>2</em><em>°</em>
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps we need to take:
1. Simplify left side.
2. Separate the variable and its coefficient from constants
3. Divide both sides by the coefficient to find "x
1) Simplify left side.
5(3x - 4) + 12 = 52
15x - 20 + 12 = 52
15x - 8 = 52
2) Separate the variable and its coefficient from constants by adding 8 to both sides.
15x - 8 + 8 = 52 + 8
15x = 60
3) Divide both sides by the coefficient to find x. (the coefficient is the number that comes before the variable)
15x / 15 = 60 / 15
x = 4
Using the information from the question, one can construct two equations:
... (1)
... (2)
by substituting (1) into (2) to find x
\frac{5}{4z} = \frac{1}{4}
⇒ z = 5
By substituting value of z into (1)
⇒ 4 (5) = x
⇒ x = 20
Thus the two numbers are 5 & 20
