Answer:

n = 16 - 7

n = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 3, the fraction becomes 3/4."

Cross multiply

4(n+3) = 3d

4n + 12 = 3d

"If the denominator is decreased by 7, the fraction becomes 1."

Cross multiply

1n = d - 7

n = (d-7)

In the 1st equation replace n with d-7

4(d-7) + 12 = 3d

4d - 28 + 12 = 3d

4d - 3d - 16 = 0

d = 16 is the denominator

then n = 16 - 7

n = 9

9/16 =  the original equation

What is the value of x in the equation –x = 2 – 3x + 6?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−x=2−3x+6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−x=2−3x+6

−x=2+−3x+6

−x=(−3x)+(2+6)(Combine Like Terms)

−x=−3x+8

−x=−3x+8

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−x+3x=−3x+8+3x

2x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 8/2

x=4
