disa [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

14/15 - 2/3 =

14/15 and 2/3 lcm is 15

so 14/15 becomes 14/15

- 2/3 become 10/15

15÷5=3 and 10÷5=2

so 14/15

-10/15=4/15

14-10 = 4

answer is 4/15 and since 15 can't be divided by 4 equally it is in simplest form at 4/15

Eight times a number increased by 9 exceeds 7 times the number by 15. Find the number.
Alborosie
Turn it into math terms bit by bit. let x be "a number"

8 times a number is 8×x

increased by 9 is +9

7 times a number is 7×x

exceeds is minus

by 15 is =15

now we put it together.

8 \times x + 9 - 7 \times x = 15
solve
8x + 9 - 7x = 15 \\ x + 9 = 15 \\ x = 6
