➷ The original fraction can be written as:

x/x + 5

This is the information we have:

x + 3/x + 6 = 2/3

Cross multiply them:

3x + 9 = 2x + 12

Subtract 2x from both sides:

x + 9 = 8

Subtract 9 from both sides:

x = 3

The original fraction was 3/8

Answer:

<u> 3/8.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original fraction be x / (x + 5).

Then (x + 3) /  (x + 5 + 1)  = 2/3

x + 3 / x + 6 = 2 / 3

Cross multiply:

3(x + 3) = 2(x + 6)

3x + 9 = 2x + 12

x = 12 - 9 = 3

The original fraction is 3 / (3 + 5)

=<u> 3/8.</u>

How do I write a compound inequality?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

it can either be written as x > -1 and x < 2 or as -1 < x < 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of a compound inequality with an "and" represents the intersection of the graph of the inequalities. A number is a solution to the compound inequality if the number is a solution to both inequalities. It can either be written as x > -1 and x < 2 or as -1 < x < 2.

Can anyone help!<br> WITH STEPS!

Answer:

When we have something like:

\sqrt[n]{x}

It is called the n-th root of x.

Where x is called the radicand, and n is called the index.

Then the term:

\sqrt[4]{16}

is called the fourth root of 16.

And in this case, we can see that the index is 4, and the radicand is 16.

At the end, we have the question: what is the 4th root of 16?

this is:

\sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{4*4}  = \sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2} = 2

The 4th root of 16 is equal to 2.
