Mathematics

*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

Prove that the sum of ab and ba is divisible by the sum of a and b
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

It is divisible by 11 and (a + b) !

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a two digit number $ ab $, the digits written in reverse order is $ba $.

Note that a two digit number ab  = 10a + b.

For example: 24 = 10(2) + 4

Similarly, ba = 10(b) + a

Now, the sum of the numbers ab and ba = 10a + b + 10b + a

= 11a + 11b

= 11(a + b)

Hence, the sum of any two digit number ab and the reverse of the number ba,  is divisible by 11 and (a + b).

Hence, proved.
