Good night,
<span>Irrational numbers
are those that can't be expressed as a fraction:
12.89 can be expressed as: </span>
<span>The above numbers
can be expressed as a fraction, then the logical answer is: </span>
But we will check the answer:
As you can see we can't express that number as a fraction, so that is te correct answer.
We need to express this statement into a equation:
First of all. We will walk through the statement step by step into a mathematical language, so:
1. The sum of five and x:
x + 5
2. Twice the sum of five and x:
2(x + 5)
3. Eight less than x:
(x-8)
Finally the whole statement is:
4. <span>Twice the sum of five and x is eight less than x:
</span>
2(x + 5) = (x-8)
2x + 10 = x - 8
x = -18
when you simplify 2/4 it equals 1/2. Making them both equal the same.
2/3 when you double the numbers to make a bigger fraction you make 4/6.
2x2 = 4/ 3x3= /6 = 4/6
3/9 simplified is 1/3. Three goes into three one time, making the top one and three goes into 9 three times making the bottom 3.
When 9/12 is rounded down it is equivalent to 3/4
