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.

Which equation justifies why nine to the one third power equals the cube root of nine?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

nine to the one third power all raised to the third power equals nine raised to the one third times three power equals nine

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Power of a Power Property</em></u> , states that :To find a power of a power, multiply the exponents

so

(a^{b})^{c}=a^{b*c}

In this problem we have

9^{\frac{1}{3}} =\sqrt[3]{9}

Remember that

\sqrt[3]{9}=9^{\frac{1}{3}}

Raise to the third power

[9^{\frac{1}{3}}]^3

Applying the power of power property

9^{\frac{3}{3}}

9^{1}

9

therefore

nine to the one third power all raised to the third power equals nine raised to the one third times three power equals nine
