N = d - 5
2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3
Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8
2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.
Answer: 11/21
Step-by-step explanation: Subtract: 67 - 26 = 6 · 67 · 6 - 2 · 76 · 7 = 3642 - 1442 = 36 - 1442 = 2242 = 2 · 112 · 21 = 1121
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(7, 6) = 42. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 7 × 6 = 42. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 1121.
hope this helps
The answer is 3,888 !!!!!!!!
