Question 225064: my numerator is divisible by 3, my denominator is divisible by 5, denominator is 4 less than twice my numerator. find the mystery faction Answer by LtAurora(115) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So, the relation is:
Try multiples of 3 for x:
2*3-4=2
Since 2 is not divisible by 5, try another:
2*6-4=8
2*9-4=14
2*12-4=20
20 is divisible by 5, and 12 is divisible by 3.
So, the mystery fraction is .
