Answer:

This fraction is in simplest form:

=2/5

Solution

In order to simplify a fraction there must be:

1. A number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator so it can be reduced. No such number exists for 2 and 5.

2. The numerator must be greater than the denominator, (an improper fraction), so it can be converted to a mixed number. 2 is not greater than 5.

This fraction is in simplest form:

=2/5

Hope this helps!

Kamau is now 2 years older than Jane if James age is y now what will be the total age in 10 years

cluponka [151]

Answer:

(2y + 22) years

Step-by-step explanation:

kamau is now 2 years older than Jane if Janes age is y now what will be the total age in 10 years.

Answer: If Jane is y years old now and Kamau is 2 years older than Jane, therefore the age of Kamau now would be 2 + y years.

In ten years time Jane age would be y + 10 years while the age of Kamau would be y + 2 + 10 = y + 12 years.

To get their total age we just have to add their individual age. Therefore the total age in 10 years = Age of Kamau in ten years + age of Jane in ten years = (y + 12) + (y + 10) = y + 12 + y + 10 = y + y + 12 + 10 = 2y + 22 years

Solve the following equations for x, if possible. check your solutions. 6/dividex+2 = 3/4

SOVA2 [1]

Solving $\frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}$ we get x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve $\frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Solving:

Cross multiply both terms:

$4*6=3(x+2)\\24=3x+6\\3x=24-6\\3x=18\\x=18/3\\x=6$

Verifying the solution:

Putting x=6 in the question given:

$\frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{6}{6+2}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Solving $\frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}$ we get x=6
