Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9
That is basically 5 - 2 I believe so the answer is 3.
A. She can multiply the bottom equation by -4 and then add the equations to solve for h.
-4g - 15h = -17
4g - 20h = -52
Add them to get
-15h = -17
-20h = -52
From here, you can solve for h.
Answer:
-8r
Step-by-step explanation:
r- 9r
since there is an r in each term we can factor out an r
r (1-9)
r (-8)
-8r
