The numerator of a fraction is 2 less than the denominator. A new fraction can be formed by adding 5 to the denominator and doubling the numerator. The product of the original fraction and the reciprocal of the new fraction is 1/4. What is the original fraction?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator of the original fraction be x, then

[tex]\frac{x-2}{x}[/tex] ← original fraction

Then

[tex]\frac{2(x-2)}{x+5}[/tex] ← new fraction

The product of original and reciprocal of new is

[tex]\frac{x-2}{x}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{x+5}{2(x-2)}[/tex] ← cancel (x - 2)

= [tex]\frac{x+5}{2x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

4(x + 5) = 2x

4x + 20 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x + 20 = 0 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

2x = - 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 10

Then original fraction

[tex]\frac{x-2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-12}{-10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the given fractions.

(1) [tex]18\times \dfrac{2}{12}=3[/tex]

(2)

[tex]2\dfrac{2}{3}\times 2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{3}\times \dfrac{9}{4}\\\\=6[/tex]

(3) [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}\div 9[/tex]

We know that, [tex]\dfrac{x}{y}\div \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{x}{y}\times \dfrac{b}{a}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\dfrac{3}{5}\div 9=\dfrac{3}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{15}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the 100th term of the sequence with a1 = 222 and d = -5?

1.-273
2.-278
3.717
4.722

Answers

Answer: the 100th term of the sequence =-273 (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first term = 222

and d  (common difference )=-5 Then we are talking about an arithmetic progression

The nth term of an Arithmetic progression is given as

Tn=a + (n - 1)d

Therefore given that n =100

Tn=a + (n - 1)d = 222 +(100-1)-5

222+ (99)-5

222-495=-273

so ..

X=60

and

3x-70=180-60=110

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the theorem of exterior Angle,Measure of Exterior angle=Sum of two OPPOSITE interior angles

Answer:

angle LKM = 110 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

angle JKL = 180 - (3x-70) because they are supplementary angles

angle JKL + x + 50 = 180 degrees because the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle equals 180 degrees

substituting for angle JKL:

180 - (3x - 70) + x + 50 = 180

180 - 3x +70 + x + 50 = 180

simplify:

-2x = -120

x = 60 degrees

angle LKM = 3(60)-70 = 110 degrees

shown is a regular pentagon, find y.

Answers

Answer:

54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Every side of a regular pentagon is same.

So we have an  isosceles triangle. The  correspond angle of y, must equal to y (degree) too.

Also, every inner angle of a regular pentagon is 360/5=72. So we can calculate angle y, by the equation y+y+72=180.

y=54

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points
(6,1) and (7,2)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answers

Answer (assuming it can be in slope-intercept form):

y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula, [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex], and substitute the x and y values of the given points into it. Then, solve:

[tex]m = \frac{(2)-(1)}{(7)-(6)} \\m = \frac{2-1}{7-6} \\m = \frac{1}{1} \\m = 1[/tex]

2) Now that we know the slope and at least one point the line crosses through, we can write an equation of the line in point-slope form, or [tex]y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)[/tex]. Substitute [tex]m[/tex], [tex]x_1[/tex], and [tex]y_1[/tex] for real values.

Since [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope, substitute 1 for it. Since [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, use any one of the given points (either one is fine, either way the equation will represent the same line) and substitute its x and y values into the equation. (I chose the point (6, 1), as seen below.) Finally, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form.

[tex]y-1 = 1(x-6)\\y -1 = x-6\\y = x -5[/tex]

Answer:

3x-2=x+10

x=6

x+4=19-2x

x=5

8z-20=z+15

z=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2=x+10

+2 on both sides

3x-2(+2)=x+10(+2)  =>  3x=x+12

subtract x on both sides

3x(-x)=x(-x)+12   =>  2x=12

divide 2 on both sides

2x/2=12/2

= x=6

x+4=19-2x

subtract 4 on both sides

x+4(-4)=19(-4)-2x    =>    x=15-2x

add 2x on both sides    

x(+2x)=15-2x(+2x)     =>    3x=15

divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=15/3

= x=5

8z-20=z+15

subtract z on both sides

8z(-z)-20=z(-z)+15    =>  7z-20=15

add 20 on both sides

7z-20(+20)=15(+20)

7z=35

divide 7 on both sides

7z/7=35/7

= z=5
