Answer:

  4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording is ambiguous, as it often is when math expressions are described in English. We assume you intend ...

  \dfrac{3n+8}{n+7}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\3(3n+8)=4(n+7)\qquad\text{multiply by $3(n+7)$}\\\\9n+24=4n+28\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\5n=4\qquad\text{subtract $4n+24$}\\\\\boxed{n=\dfrac{4}{5}}\qquad\text{divide by 5}

The number is 4/5.

Word problem-in a movie script time traveler wanted to save his wife who died the same year. The couple was the dam age. However
drek231 [11]

Represent Age of Time Traveler =========> X

Solve:

x = 3(x - 20 )


Step 1: Simplify Both sides of equation:

x = 3(x - 20 )

x = (3) (x) + (3) ( - 20 ) (Distribute ):

x = 3x + - 60

x = 3x - 60


Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides:

x - 3x = 3x - 60 - 3x

- 2x = - 60


Step 3: Divide both sides by -2:

- 2x / - 2 = - 60 / - 2

x = 30



Answer: Our Time Traveler is 30 years old.




Hope that helps : )
