The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice its numerator. Denominator becomes 12 times the numerator, if both the numerator and the denominator are reduced by 6. Find the fraction.

Sagot :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{6}{26}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Denominator is 4 more than twice its numerator

Suppose the numerator is x. So, it follows above condition, fraction becomes

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{2x+4}[/tex]

If both numerator and denominator are reduced by 6, they become equal

[tex]\Rightarrow 12(x-6)=2x+4-6\\\Rightarrow 12x-72=2x-2\\\Rightarrow 10x=70\\\Rightarrow x=7[/tex]

The fraction is

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{4x+2}=\dfrac{6}{4\times 6+2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{26}[/tex]
