A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.
The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.
This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).
Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.
Answer:
n = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n:
-3 n - 5 = 16
Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left-hand side.
Add 5 to both sides:
(5 - 5) - 3 n = 5 + 16
Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.
5 - 5 = 0:
-3 n = 16 + 5
Hint: | Evaluate 16 + 5.
16 + 5 = 21:
-3 n = 21
Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of -3 n = 21 by -3:
(-3 n)/(-3) = 21/(-3)
Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
(-3)/(-3) = 1:
n = 21/(-3)
Hint: | Reduce 21/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 21 and -3.
The gcd of 21 and -3 is 3, so 21/(-3) = (3×7)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×7/(-1) = 7/(-1):
n = 7/(-1)
Hint: | Simplify the sign of 7/(-1).
Multiply numerator and denominator of 7/(-1) by -1:
Answer: n = -7
Answer:
2÷(−2) = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
4 consecutive integers : (x), (x + 1), (x + 2), (x + 3)
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 114...combine like terms
4x + 6 = 114....subtract 6 from both sides
4x = 114 - 6
4x = 108...divide both sides by 4
x = 108/4
x = 27
x + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28
x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29
x + 3 = 27 + 3 = 30
so ur 4 numbers are : 27, 28, 29, 30
