If 2 is added to both the numerator and denominator of a fraction its value becomes half. If two is subtracted from both the num

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The original fraction is $\frac{6}{14}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

Let the fraction be' $\frac{x}{y}$ '.

Where 'x' is the numerator and 'y' is the denominator.

Now according to question, if 2 is added to both the numerator and denominator the value of the fraction becomes 1/2.

So, framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$\frac{x+2}{y+2}=\frac{1}{2}$

On using cross multiplication method, we get;

$2(x+2)=y+2\\\\2x+4=y+2\\\\2x+4-2=y\\\\\therefore\ y=2x+2\ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Now according to question, if 2 is Subtracted to both the numerator and denominator the value of the fraction becomes 1/3.

So, framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$\frac{x-2}{y-2}=\frac{1}{3}$

On using cross multiplication method, we get;

$3(x-2)=y-2\\\\3x-6=y-2\\\\3x-y=-2+6\\\\3x-y=4 \ \ \ \ equation\ 2$

Now Substituting the equation 1 in equation 1 we get;

$3x-y=4\\\\3x-(2x+2)=4\\\\3x-2x-2=4\\\\3x-2x=4+2\\\\x=6$

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

$y=2x+2\\\\y=2\times6+2 = 14$

Hence The original fraction is $\frac{6}{14}$ .

Drag and drop question I need help on ASAP

klasskru [66]

[] Similar

-> The triangles are similar because they were "mirrored" by the...

[] SSS

-> ... by the SSS similarity theorem, the sides are...

[] Proportional

-> ... the sides are proportional.

[] AB/AC

-> Since the sides are proportional, dividing corresponding sides will leave us with the same number

[] For the last two I think I am missing some information as I do not have any numbers and know where they got 85 from.

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

A strobe light is located at the center of a square dance room. the rotating light is 40 feet from each of the square walls and

Effectus [21]

The equation of the rotating light is an illustration of a secant function

The equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is $d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

The equation is a secant function represented by

$y =A\sec(Bt)$

Where:

A represents the amplitude

So, we have:

$A = 40$ --- the distance of the light from each square wall

B represents the period, and it is calculated as:

$B = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

The light completes its full rotation every 6 seconds.

This means that,

T = 6

So, we have:

$B = \frac{2\pi}{6}$

Simplify

$B = \frac{\pi}{3}$

Substitute values for A and B in $y =A\sec(Bt)$

$y = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

Rewrite as a function

$d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

Hence, the equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is $d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$
