For this case, the original fraction is:
 x / y
 Where,
 x = numerator
 y = denominator:
 If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 3, the fraction becomes 3/4:
 (x + 3) / y = 3/4
 If the denominator is decreased by 7, the fraction becomes 1:
 x / (y-7) = 1
 Solving the system of equations we have:
 x = 9
 y = 16
 The original fraction is:
 9/16
 Answer:
 
the original fraction is:
 
9/16
 "If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 3, the fraction becomes 3/4" is:
 (x + 3) / y = 3/4

X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8

-7–5(3g+8)&lt;10g–7+g <br><br> help me please!
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

-20/13 <g

Step-by-step explanation:

-7–5(3g+8)<10g–7+g

Distribute

-7–15g-40<10g–7+g

Combine like terms

-15g - 47 < 11g -7

Add 15 g to each side

-15g+15g -47< 11g+15g -7

-47 < 26g -7

Add 7 to each side

-47+7 < 26g-7+7

-40 < 26g

Divide each side by 26

-40/26 <26g/26

-40/26 <g

Divide top and bottom by 2

-20/13 <g
