Step-by-step explanation:
Question :
The denominator of a rational number is greater than the numerator by 10. If the numerator is increased by 1 and the denominator is decreased by 3 , then expression for new denominator is ____________
Solution :
Let the numerator be x.
Now,
Denominator is greater than numerator by 10.
- So, let the denominator be x + 10.
Case : 1
★ The numerator is increased by 1. So, the new numberator is x + 1.
Case : 2
★ Again, the denominator is decreased by 3.
Our earlier denominator was x + 10.
Now, new denominator is :
Fraction will be :
Hence, the new expression for denominator is :
