Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y

(x + 1)/y = 1/2

x/(y - 1) = 1/3          Cross multiply both equations.

====================

2*(x + 1) = y           Remove the brackets

2x + 2 = y

################

3x = y - 1               Add 1 to both sides.

3x + 1=y - 1+ 1

3x + 1 = y

#################

Equate both ys

3x + 1 = 2x + 2        Subtract 1 from both sides.

3x + 1-1 = 2x + 2 -1

3x = 2x + 1              Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x-2x = 2x-2x +1    Simplify

x = 1

==================

y = 3x + 1

y = 3(1) + 1

y = 3 + 1

y = 4

The original fraction was 1/4

How would I solve this and what’s the answer ?
natali 33 [55]
To solve this you just move the letters and numbers around until you get a different equation that is the same as the original equation.

You can also rule out the last two answers because they don’t have all the values.

P = pie

s=2prh can be written as s/2ph=r if we divide s by 2ph because we need to isolate r because all the answers have r isolated.

So the answer would be b s/2ph=r

Sorry that’s really badly worded and confusing, but I hope it helps.
