Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The numerator of a fraction is 5 less than its denominator.

If 3 is added to the numerator and denominator both , the fraction becomes 4/5.

To Find :-

The Original Number

Solution :-

Let denominator of the fraction be = x

And then numerator be x – 5

Original fraction = (x – 5)/x

According to the Question,

⇒  (x – 5 + 3)/(x + 3) = 4/5

⇒ (x – 2)/(x + 3) = 4/5

⇒ 5(x – 2) = 4x + 12

(By cross multiplication)

⇒ 5x – 10 = 4x + 12

⇒ 5x - 4x = 12 + 10

⇒ x = 22

Original fraction = (x – 5)/x

Original fraction  = (22 – 5)/22

Original fraction = 17/22

Hence, the original number is 17/22.

Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m?
aleksandrvk [35]
To solve this problem, we must simplify the the equation:
<span>Here is the base equation -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m (Add all like terms):

</span>#1 -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m (Property of Addition)<span>
#2 -7m - 8 = -4 + m (Most Simplified Equation)

The answer your would be the 2nd one. </span>-7m - 8 = m - 4

amber deposits $870 in an account that has a simple interest rate of 8% per year. After 5 years, how much interest will Amber ha
charle [14.2K]
For simple interest, the formula is I = PRT, where I = interest, P = principal borrowed or deposited, R = rate as a decimal, and T = time in years.

Your information:
I = (870)(0.08)(5)
I = 348

Add the interest to the principal for your total balance

348 + 870 = $1218 will be the total balance in the account.
