Let's put it into perspective.

x/(x+5)

If increase by 3:

(x+3)/(x+8) = 3/4

Cross multiply.

4(x+3)=3(x+8)

4x+12 =3x+24

Solve algebraically.

4x-3x = 24-12

x = 12

Therefore, original fraction is:

12/17

The volume of a cone is 88π cubic feet. Its height is 8 feet. Fatima is finding the radius of the cone. Her work is shown below.
Kisachek [45]
To evaluate the radius of the cone we proceed as follows:
V=1/3 πr²h
plugging in the values, v=88π, h=8 ft
step 1
88π1/3πr²(8)
step 2
88π=8/3πr²
step 3
 divide both sides by π
88=8/3r²
multiply both sides by 3/(8)
88(3/8)=r²
step 4
simplify
33=r²
step 5 
get the square root
r=√33

Thus the mistake that Fatima made was:
<span> In step 3, Fatima did not multiply 88 by the reciprocal of 8/3 </span>

V + f − e = 2 
<span>Add -2+e to both sides. </span>

<span>v + f − e -2+e = 2 -2+e </span>
<span>On simplification, we get </span>
<span>v + f − 2 = e </span>
