*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.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 8?
zubka84 [21]
Using the quadratic equation we get:
\frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{4 - 32} }{2} = \frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{ - 28} }{2}

Factoring out 2 we get
\frac{ - 2 + - 2\sqrt{ - 7} }{2} = - 1( + - ) \sqrt{ - 7}
Factoring out the imaginary number:
- 1 + \sqrt{7} i \: (and) \: - 1 - \sqrt{7} i
So b.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(3, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

 (4/3)P -(4/3)A + A = B . . . . . . add A

 (4P -A)/3 = B . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Then the coordinates of point B are ...

 B = (4(1, 6) -(-5, 3))/3 = (9, 21)/3

 B = (3, 7)
