I am thinking of a fraction. The sum of the numerator and denominator is 19. When I add 8 to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2 What is the fraction I am thinking of?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be .

That would mean:

(1)    x+y = 19

&

(2)    y+8 = 2x or 2x = y+8

In order to use substitution, we multiply equation by 2:

(3)   2x+2y = 38

Then we substitute equation (2) into (3):

y+8 + 2y = 38

3y + 8 = 38

3y = 30

y = 10

Substitute this into equation (1)

x + 10 = 19

x = 9

Therefore the fraction would be:

  21.3

step-by-step explanation:

multiplying the given equation by c/sin(25°), we get

  c = 9/sin(25°) ≈ 21.2958 ≈ 21.3

we assume "c" is the length of ab, the side opposite angle c in triangle abc.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
