The clues translate to

n/d = 2/3
(n+2)/(d+2) = 3/4

Solving this by cross multiplying both:

3n = 2d
3(d+2) = 4(n+2) => 3d + 6 = 4n + 8

then substituting d = 3/2 n in the second:

9/2n - 4n = 2 => 1/2 n = 2 => n = 4

if n=4 then d = 3/2*4 = 6.

So the original fraction was 4/6

What is 3(x+2)-10=4x-6+x <br>​
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1=x or x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2)-10=4x-6+x

distribute

3x+6-10=4x-6+x

combine like terms

3x-4=5x-6

subtract 3x from each side

-4=2x-6

add 6 to both sides

2=2x

divide by 2

1=x or x=1
