The denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator. If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the simpli

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$

Substituting x=40 into the initial fraction

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}=\dfrac{40}{40+2}=\dfrac{40}{42}$

Therefore, the original fraction is $\dfrac{40}{42}$

Tasha lists all the multiple of 3 from 3 to99. Tony lists all the multiples of 5 from 5 to100. What is the first number that is

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Multiples of 3 = 3, 9
Multiples of 5 = 5, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In a list of 3 to 99, the first multiple of 3 will be none other than 3 itself because when multiplied by 1, you get three.

The second number will be: 3 * 2 = 6

In a list from 5 to 100, the first multiple will be 5 with 5 being a multiple of itself when multiplied by 1.

Second number = 5 * 2 = 10
