Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9

Given <span>-2.8k-4.31=-15.79 :
1) Isolate the "k" term on the left by adding 4.31 to both sides of this equation.
2) Simplify the right side.
3) Divide both sides by -2.8 and you'll have the answer: k = ?</span>
To solve for c, you need to get c onto one side of the equation, or make it c=__. So what I would do first is subtract a/b from both sides
a/b + c = d/c
-a/b
a/b - a/b + c = d/c - a/b
c = d/c-a/b
After much work and 12 pages of notebook paper the answer is 28
