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:
right 6 and down 2
Step-by-step explanation:
I used a graphing calculator
7(x+3)
= 7x+ 7*3 (distributive property)
= 7x+ 21.
The final answer is 7x+21~

Answer:
- base: 2.18 m
- height: 7.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base of the triangle in meters. Then the height is ...
h = 3 +2b
and the area is ...
A = 1/2bh
8 = 1/2(b)(3 +2b)
16 = 3b +2b^2 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and eliminate parentheses
2(b^2 +3/2b + (9/16)) = 16 + 9/8 . . . . . . complete the square
2(b +3/4)^2 = 17.125
(b +3/4)^2 = 8.5625 . . . . . divide by 2
b + 0.75 = √8.5625 ≈ 2.9262
b = -0.75 +2.9262 = 2.1762
h = 3 +2b = 7.3523
The base is about 2.18 meters and the height is about 7.35 meters.
