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.

What is value of x? please help
bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.

\frac{x+8}{10}=\frac{2x-5}{14}

To solve for x, cross multiply:

(x+8)(14) = (10)(2x-5)

14x + 112 = 20x -50

        112 = 6x - 50

        162 = 6x

          27 = x
