Question

if a + 1 by a is equal to 17 by 4 then find the value of a minus 1 by a​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\blue{a-1/a=-9/4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{given}$

$\frac{a + 1}{a} = \frac{17}{4}$

$\boxed{Tofind}$

value of

$\frac{a - 1}{a}$

$\boxed{answer}$

$\frac{a + 1}{a} = \frac{17}{4}$

$4a + 4 = 17a$

$4 = 17a - 4a$

$4 = 13a$

$\frac{ 4 }{13} = a$

now the value of a-1/a

$= \frac{ \frac{4}{13} - 1}{ \frac{4}{13} }$

$= \frac{ \frac{4 - 13}{13} }{ \frac{4}{13} }$

$= \frac{ - 9}{4}$
