➷ 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>

What is the point slope form of a line that has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (-1,4)
lukranit [14]

Answer:

y - 4 = 3(x- (-1)     --->      y-4 = 3(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 4 = 3(x + 1)

y - 4 = 3x + 3

y = 3x + 7

then plug in (-1,4)

4 = 3(-1) + 7

4 = -3 + 7

4 = 4

Point slope form looks like:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Ac is tangent to circle o at point c what is the length of ac?
MissTica

Answer:

The Answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem. AB=8 and BO=5 We still need to find AO

AO=AB+BO

8+5

AO=13

Now solve for AC

AC^2 + OC^2= AO^2

AC^2+5^2=13^2

AC^2+ 25=169

AC^2=144

AC= 12
