Question

The denominator of a rational number is greater than the numerator by 10. If the numerator is increased by 1 the and denominator is decreased by 1, then expression for new denominator is _________.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

x/x+10

x+1/x+10-1

x+1/x+9

Answer 2

Answer:

(x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The denominator is greater than numerator by 10.

Let the numerator be x.

Therefore, denominator will be (x+10)

Therefore, we will get,

=> Fraction = x/(x+10)

Now, it's said that,

Numerator is increased by 1 and denominator is decreased by 1.

Therefore, we have,

New numerator = (x+1)

New denominator = (x+10-1) = (x+9)

Therefore, we will get,

=> New fraction = (x+1)/(x+9)

Hence, the new expression for denominator is (x+9)
