After reducing the fraction it becomes equal to 5/12. Let the common element which was cancelled out be x. So we can say the original fraction was \frac{5x}{12x}.

The denominator of the fraction is 147 greater than the numerator. We can write it as:

12x = 147 + 5x

12x - 5x = 147

7x = 147

x = 21

So, the numerator of the fraction was 5 x 21 = 105
Denominator of the fraction was 12 x 21 = 252

So our original fraction was \frac{105}{252}

Consider the system of linear equations.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The system has one solution.

Both lines have the same y-intercept.

The solution is the intersection of the 2 lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines are

  • 2y=x +10

       slope = 0.5

       y intercept(put x =0) =5

  • 3y =3x +15

      slope = 1

       y intercept(put x =0 ) =5

Both are linear equation thus they have only one solution. Also two non parallel lines meet only at one point.

If you solve these linear equation coordinate of  point of intersection of line on graph will come.

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5
Oxana [17]

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5

2.5 <= x < = 4.5

We graph this inequality using number line.

Here x lies between 2.5  and 4.5

While graphing, we start with closed circle at 2.5 because we have equal symbol .

Then shade till 4.5. Use closed circle at 4.5.

The graph is attached below.
