1. The denominator of a fraction is 12 more than the numerator.
\n" ); document.write( " If 16 is added to the numerator and 16 is subtracted from the denominator,
\n" ); document.write( " the value of the resulting fraction is equal to 2/1.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the original fraction.
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the numerator
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+12) = the denominator
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2/1 is just 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B16%29%2F%28%28x%2B12%29-16%29\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( "which is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B16%29%2F%28x-4%29\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x + 16 = 2(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x + 16 = 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "16 + 8 = 2x - x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "24 = x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The original fraction = \"24%2F36\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "is this true?
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2824%2B16%29%2F%2836-16%29\" =
\n" ); document.write( "\"40%2F20\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. A number is 6 times the sum of its digits.
\n" ); document.write( " The tens digit is 1 greater than the units digit.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the 10's digit; let y = the units
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10x + y = \"the two digit number\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "10x + y = 6(x + y)
\n" ); document.write( "10x + y = 6x + 6y
\n" ); document.write( "10x - 6x = 6y - y
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The 10's digit is 1 greater than the units
\n" ); document.write( "x = y + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "replace x with y+1
\n" ); document.write( "4(y+1) = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "4y + 4 = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 5y - 4y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "54 is the number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Is this true:
\n" ); document.write( "54 = 6(5+4)
\n" ); document.write( "
