Solve for y, z, x or t:

Mathematics

Andrews [41]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
Anarel [89]

Answer:

x = 9

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 9

y = 15

I'm not sure how to explain this, but one side is equal to its opposite side in a parallelogram.

Hope this helps :)

Whats the answer to this? Please help.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The answer is just 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this problem, you must think of what whole numbers actually are.

Whole numbers consist of Positive integers and Zero.

Positive integers include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... etc

Zero is 0

The reason \frac{23}{5} isn't a whole number is because that fraction doesn't reduce any further and does not yield a whole number.
