The denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and denominator is decreased by 1 , the number obtained is 3/2 , find the fraction

Nouraa:

Can you solve it ?

MxxnLight:

The denominator is decreased by 1 the number obtained is 3 and 2 find the rational number.

No thank you guys, but also I have one question

mxddi3:

MxxnLight:

Ask away!

Nouraa:

Mona is 6 years older than her younger sister. After 10 years , the sum of their ages will be 50 years. Find their present ages .

Nouraa:

Mona + her sister + 6 = 50

MxxnLight:

10 years??

Nouraa:

Yes 10

MxxnLight:

Because look.

MxxnLight:

10 x 1 you get 10 so I just guessed 10 was the answer..

mxddi3:

gimmie a second, hold on

Nouraa:

I don't know the answer

MxxnLight:

I believe the answer's 10!

mxddi3:

nope

mxddi3:

i got it

mxddi3:

ok so mona's age is going to be "m" and since she's 6 years older,her SISTER is going to be m-6. make sense so far guys?

MxxnLight:

Dang it, This proves how dumb I am..😐

shisui:

no

mxddi3:

can i keep going or...? and ur not dumb, it just takes a lot of thinking

mxddi3:

can u answer the question please?

shisui:

who?

mxddi3:

mmk ima keep going bc u arent answering when im trying to help you @Nouraa

shisui:

0.0

mxddi3:

in 10 years their ages are equal to 50 so monas age is m+10 and her sister is m-6+10 now combine like terms and you get : \[2m+15=50\] solve that to get moan's age. whatever number you get, subtract 6 from it to get her sisters age

shisui:

your doing it the difficult way

mxddi3:

not rlly but ok. either way, it's still a way to gt the answer so it doesnt matter. they're not responding anyway

shisui:

yea

Nouraa:

I'm so sorry but I'm trying to solve it in my notes

mxddi3:

ok

Nouraa:

Your answer is right

mxddi3:

yeah,ik

Nouraa:

Thank you for your helping
