Answer:
n = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is
3n = 4 × 6 = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 8
a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
