Finding the Number
To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.
Equation:
Let "x" be the number.
4 is divided by a number - 4/x
3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2
"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"
4/x = 3/x-2
Solution:
Cross multiply.
4/x = 3/x-2
x(3) = 4(x-2)
3x = 4x - 8
(Combine similar terms.)
3x - 4x = - 8
- x = - 8
- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1
x = 8
Final Answer:
8
Checking:
4/x = 3/x-2
4/8 = 3/8-2
1/2 = 3/6
1/2 = 1/2 ✔
Did you mean -1? If so your answer would be, there is no intercept with the y axis. The intercept with the x axis is at (1/2, 0)
The answer is 5/72 you would just divide 5/6 by 12 hope this helped
