1.Half of an integer exceeds one-third of the next integer by unity. Find the integer.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\"a = \"1%2F3\"(a+1) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6, cancel the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "3a = 2(a+1) + 6
\n" ); document.write( "3a = 2a + 2 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "3a - 2a = 8
\n" ); document.write( "a = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the given statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. The denominator of a fraction is 2 more than the numerator
\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2F%28%28n%2B2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " if 1 is added to both, the fraction is reduced to to 4/5 find the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28n%2B1%29%2F%28%28n%2B2%29%2B1%29\" = \"4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "find the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28n%2B1%29%29%2F%28%28n%2B3%29%29\" = \"4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "5(n+1) = 4(n+3)
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 5 = 4n + 12
\n" ); document.write( "5n - 4n = 12 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "n = 7
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2F9\" is the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "Add 1 to both and you get \"8%2F10\" which reduces to \"4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3.divide 50 into two parts
\n" ); document.write( "a + b = 50
\n" ); document.write( " such that if 6 is subtracted from one part and 12 is added to the second part, we get the same number.
\n" ); document.write( "a - 6 = b + 12
\n" ); document.write( "a - b = 12 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "a - b = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Use elimination on these two equations
\n" ); document.write( "a + b = 50
\n" ); document.write( "a - b = 18
\n" ); document.write( "------------addition eliminates b, find a
\n" ); document.write( "2a + 0 = 68
\n" ); document.write( "a = 68/2
\n" ); document.write( "a = 34
\n" ); document.write( "then obviously,
\n" ); document.write( "b = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Check see if this flies in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"if 6 is subtracted from one part and 12 is added to the second part, we get the same number.\"
\n" ); document.write( "34 - 6 = 16 + 12
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
