Answer: 9/15 or 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is world problems leading to the linear equation.

Now listen, in a fraction, a/b where a = numerator and b = denominator

Now let the denominator = x and the denominator = x + 4 since the denominator is four greater than the the numerator.

From the question, the value of the fraction = 9/15 or 3/5 in its lowest term.

Now to get the fraction,

Organise the fraction base on the statements above

x

------ , now equate it to 9/15 of 3/5

x + 4

in it's lowest term.

x/x +4. = 9/15

x. 9

------- = -----

x + 4. 15

Now convert it to a linear expression by cross multiply

15x = 9( x + 4 ), now solve for x by opening the bracket by multiplying through by 9, and collect like terms.

15x = 9x + 36

15x - 9x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6.

Therefore, substitute for those values in the fraction above

x 6. 6. 3

------ = ------- = ------ = ----

x + 4 6 + 4. 10. 5

Now the original fraction is

9/15 or 3/5 ( 3 is a common factor to both the numerator and the denominator )

Just go through it step by step bearing the explanation in mind.

nadezda [96]
The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:

xd = y(L - d)

If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.

2) For which value of P and W is P + W a rational number? P = 1/(sqrt(3)) And W = 1/(sqrt(6)) 2) P = 1/(sqrt(4)) and w = 1/(sqrt
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

  P = 1/(sqrt(4)) and w = 1/(sqrt(9))

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the roots of perfect squares are rational numbers. 2, 3, 6, and 10 are not perfect squares, so their roots are irrational. Both 4 and 9 are perfect squares, so their roots are rational. The sum of rational numbers is a rational number.

  \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{4}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{9}}=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{5}{6}\quad\text{a rational number}

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,1) and (8,-3)?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y=-x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,1)

(8,-3)

1)a slope of a line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  so (-3-1)/(8-4)

  -4/4=>m=-1

2)to find y-int replace any points in the equation by x and y

so    1=-1(4)+b

        1=-4+b

        1+4=b

so b= 5

therefore the equation is  y=-x+5   so d
