Problem 1

y + (y/a) = b

a*( y + (y/a) ) = a*b ... multiply both sides by 'a'

ay + a(y/a) = ab ... distribute

ay + y = ab

(a+1)y = ab .... factor

y(a+1) = ab

y = ab/(a+1) ... divide both sides by (a+1)

<h3>Answer: y = ab/(a+1)</h3>

========================================

Problem 2

z - a = z/b

b(z - a) = b(z/b) .... multiply both sides by b

b(z - a) = z

bz - ab = z ... distribute

bz - ab+ab = z+ab ... add ab to both sides

bz = z+ab

bz-z = z+ab-z ... subtract z from both sides

bz-z = ab

z(b-1) = ab .... factor

z = ab/(b-1) .... divide both sides by (b-1)

<h3>Answer: z = ab/(b-1) </h3>

========================================

Notes:

To clear out the fractions, I multiplied both sides by the denominator value.

The restriction that 'a' cannot equal -1, back in problem 1, is to avoid having the denominator (a+1) be equal to zero. We cannot divide by zero. A similar situation happens with problem 2 as well.

!!!!!!!!HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!       In ΔSTU, SU = 18 and TU = 13. Find m∠T to the nearest tenth of a degree.
tatyana61 [14]
We can use a trig function to find the measure of angle T.

tan(T) = 18/13

Take the archtangent on both sides since we are searching for an angle.

arctan(tan T) = arctan(18/13)

T = 54.16°

The measure of angle T is 54.16°.
