First one to answer gets a ! plz !
the numerator of a fraction is one half the denominator. if the numerator increased by 2 and the denominator decreased by 2, the value of the fraction is 2/3. what is the numerator of the original fraction?

is it not 0?

Step-by-step explanation:

X/2x

X+2 / 2x-2

final answer is 2/3

for the numerator to be to 2, X has to be 0 for the numerator. that's all I have. I think 0, I'm not entirely sure.

42 inches then 10 1/2 deep

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
