You don't add or subtract the denominator. when you compare fractions like 1/4 and 1/8 you have to find the factors that repusent that like 2×4=8 so 4 2 is ur awnser
Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.
The woman is 18 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the age of the uncle.
Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.
In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that
x = 3y
He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that
x + 18 = 2(y + 18)
x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes
3y + 18 = 2y + 36
3y - 2y = 36 - 18
y = 18
x = 3y = 3 × 18
x = 54
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.
Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days
Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.
This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.
Answer:
6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)
24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)
(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
An equivalent expression is an expression which either simplified or factored is equal to it.
6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)
24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)
(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)
