Answer» -6/11 or 6/11 Answer Step-by-step explanation: Let denominator = x So, numerator = 2 - 2x In the question , if they are increase by 1 then the , denominator = x + 1 numerator = 2 - 2x + 1 (2 - 2x + 1) / x + 1 = 4 /5 = (3 - 2x) / + 1 = 4/5 [ in 2 - 2x + 1 , 2 + 1 = 3.] = 5(3 - 2x) = 4(x + 1) [cross - MULTIPLICATION between (3 - 2x) / x + 1 & 4/5.] = 15 - 10x = 4x + 4 = -10 x - 4x = + 4 - 15 [ +4 x moves yo LHS and becomes -4 x , likewise, +15 moves to RHS and becomes -15. Because x terms cannot be subtracted by non - x terms. ] = -14 x = -11 Therefore x = -11/-14. So, now we will substitute the ANSWERS., denominator = 11/14 and, numerator = 2 - 2 x 11/14 = 2 - 11/7 [ we divided 14 by 2 which is EQUAL to 7.]
Now, numerator = 3/7
3/7÷11/14 [ as numerator = 3/7 and 11/14 = denominator.] It can also be written as (3/7)/(11/14). 3/7 x 14/11 [ as we know that in multiplication of rational numbers the second number is reversed .] = 3/1 x 2/11 = 6/11 THEREFORE , THE NUMBER IS 6/11. I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU. And , if it helped then plz mark it as the brainliest answer.plz. |
