Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator of fraction is 1 less than its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 4 and the denominator is increased by 5, the new fraction becomes equivalent to 4/5. what is the original fraction?

Let n = numerator

d = denominator

n = d - 1

\frac{d - 1}{d}

\frac{d - 1 + 4}{d + 5} = \frac{4}{5}

\frac{d + 3}{d+ 5} = \frac{4}{5}

cross multiply

5(d + 3) = 4(d + 5)

5d + 15 = 4d + 20

d = 5

n = d - 1

5 - 1 = 4

original fraction 4/5

Do the sides 4, 5, and 6 form a Pythagorean Triple?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

They do not form a Pythagorean Triple.

If it was a Triple,  4^2+5^2 should equal 6^2.

4^2+5^2=16+25=41

6^2=36

41≠26

It doesn't work, therefore it is not a Pythagorean Triple.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

(x-6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL to check if the factors work.

x * x = x²

(x * 2) + (x * -6) = 2x - 6x = -4x

-6 * 2 = -12

The sum of two numbers is twenty-four. The difference of the two numbers is four.
RSB [31]

Answer:

x + y = 24

x - y = 4

Now, add these two equations.

You get,

2x = 28

x =  \frac{28}{2}

x = 14

Given,

x + y = 24

14 + y = 24

y = 24 - 14

y = 10

You can test this to the other equation as well.

x - y = 4

14 - 10 = 4

Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.
