A+b/a-b = 5/3 what are the following ratios? b:a

Mathematics
1 answer:
klio [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

b : a = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>\frac{ a + b}{ a - b} = \frac{5}{3}</em>

<em>3 ( a + b) = 5 ( a - b)</em>

<em>3 a + 3 b = 5 a - 5 b</em>

<em>5 b + 3 b = 5 a - 3 a</em>

<em>8 b = 2 a</em>

<em>\frac{b}{a} = \frac{2}{8}</em>

b : a = 1 : 4

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities ?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(12,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y\leq \frac{4}{3}x+5 ----> inequality A

y\geq -\frac{5}{2}x+5 ---> inequality B

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must satisfy both inequalities (makes true both inequalities)

<u><em>Verify each point</em></u>

Substitute the value of x and the value of y  of each ordered pair in the inequality A and in the inequality B

case 1) (0,-1)

Inequality A

-1\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5

-1\leq5 ----> is true

Inequality B

-1\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5

-1\geq 5 ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 2) (0,3)

Inequality A

3\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5

3\leq5 ----> is true

Inequality B

3\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5

3\geq 5 ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 3) (-6,-6)

Inequality A

-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(-6)+5

-6\leq-3 ----> is true

Inequality B

-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(-6)+5

-6\geq 20----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 4) (12,-6)

Inequality A

-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(12)+5

-6\leq21 ----> is true

Inequality B

-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(12)+5

-6\geq -25 ----> is true

therefore

The ordered pair is a solution of the system (makes true both inequalities)

Y= 4x-1 is the equation of a straight line graph. What is its gradient?
Dima020 [189]
When a straight line is given the form:

y=mx+c

m is the gradient. It shows how the value of y changes for an increase of x by 1.

So, in this case, the gradient is 4
