Algebra.Com's Answer #458813 by nerdybill(7384)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The denominator of a fraction is 6 more than the numerator . If one is added to numerator and 3 is subtracted from the denominator , it becomes 3/4. Find the fraction. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Let n = numerator \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "n+6 = denominator \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "(n+1)/(n+6-3) = 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "(n+1)/(n+3) = 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "cross-multiply: \n" ); document.write( "4(n+1) = 3(n+3) \n" ); document.write( "4n+4 = 3n+9 \n" ); document.write( "n+4 = 9 \n" ); document.write( "n = 5 (numerator) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "denominator: \n" ); document.write( "5+6 = 5+6 = 11\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
