Question

8 added to a number is divided by 7 subtracted from the same number can be expressed as:

• A. $\frac{(x+8)}{(x-7)}$
• B. $\frac{(x-8)}{(x+7)}$
• C. $\frac{(x+7)}{(x-8)}$
• D. $\frac{(x+8)}{7)}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{(x+8)}{(x-7)}$

Let's consider a number be,'x'.

So, 8 is added to it $\Rightarrow x+8$------(1)

And 7 is subtracted from it $\Rightarrow x-7$-------(2)

So, on dividing equations (1) and(2)

$\Rightarrow \frac{(x+8)}{(x-7)}$
