Answer:

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator by X

Denominator is three more than its numerator i.e X +3

When both the numerator and denominator are increased by one the fraction becomes 1/2

\frac{X + 1}{X+3+1} = \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{X+1}{X+4} = \frac{1}{2} \\2X + 2 = X+4\\X = 2

Thus, numerator = 2

Denominator = X +3 = 2+3 = 5

The original fraction is \frac{2}{5}

Let f(x) = x + 9 + 2, find f(0), f(7), and f(-5).
wolverine [178]

Answer:

f(0) = 0 + 9 + 2

f(0) = 11

f(7) = 7 + 9 + 2

f(7) = 18

f(-5) = -5 + 9 + 2

f(-5) = 4 + 2

f(-5) = 6

thank you

Find the reciprocal of the number
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

To find the reciprocal of a fraction all you need to do is flip it upside down.

I don't know what you mean but if it's 18/7 the reciprocal would be 7/18.

If it's a whole number (so just 18) convert it to an improper fraction (so 18/1) and then flip it. (1/18.)

-2y = 7
y = 7/-2
