Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Format rewrite:

Solve for 'b', when $\frac{5}{b} =\frac{45}{36}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:fraction\:cross\:multiply:\:if\:}\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c\\\\5\cdot \:36=b\cdot \:45\\180=b\cdot \:45\\\\divide(45)\\\\\\\\\\b=4$

Answer:

$2x - 2y = 24 \\ 2(x - y) = 24 \\ x = 12 + y......eq(1) \\ 4x + 7y = - 40......eq(2) \\ substituting \: the \: value \: of \: x \: in \: eq(2) \\ 4(12 + y) + 7y = - 40 \\ 48 + 4y + 7y = - 40 \\ 11y = - 40 - 48 \\ y = \frac{ - 88}{11} \\ y = - 8 \\ putting \: the \: value \: of \: y \: im \: eq(1) \\ x = 12 - 8 \\ = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=24......eqi

x+2y=48........eqii

now solving eq i&ii

4x=72

x=72/4

x=18

now putting the value of x in eqii

18+2y=48

2y=48-18

y=30/2

y=15

(15. Construct Arguments is 0.3 exponent 4 equal to 0.9 exponent 2? Explain.

padilas [110]

No.
0.3^4 or 0.3x0.3x0.3x0.3= 0.0081
0.9^2 or 0.9x0.9=0.81
These are not equivalent.

A positive integer is twice another.the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is 3/14. Find the integers

icang [17]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{14\ \text{and}\ 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ m-\text{positive integer}\\\\n=2m-\text{a positive integer is twice another}\\\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}-\text{the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is }\ \dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}n=2m&(1)\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}&(2)\end{array}\right$

$\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1\cdot2}{m\cdot2}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1+2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\Rightarrow2m=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2m}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\boxed{m=7}$

$\text{Substitute it to (1):}\\\\n=2\cdot7\\\\\boxed{n=14}$
