(a/5) - (b/3) = (a/2) - (b/6), solve for a

Mathematics

Gnom [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b

Step-by-step explanation:

(a/5) - (b/3) = (a/2) - (b/6)

+(B/3) + (b/3)

NOTE: use property of equality to isolate <em>b</em> from <em>a</em>

(a/5) = (b/3) + (a/2) - (b/6)

-(a/2) - (a/2)

NOTE: continue to use property of equality to isolate <em>a</em><em> </em>from <em>b</em>

(a/5) - (a/2) = (b/3) - (b/6)

60((a/5) - (a/2)) = ((b/3) - (b/6))60

NOTE: 60 is a common multiple of 5, 2, 3, and 6

12a - 30a = 20b - 10b

NOTE: combine alike terms

-17a = 10b

-17a/-17 = 10b/-17

NOTE: decide by -16 to find what a is equal to

a =  -  \frac{10}{17} b

What is the solution of the system of equations?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

x = 4

y = -1

z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

                                  3 x + 2 y + z = 7

                                  5 x + 5 y + 4 z = 3

                                  3 x + 2 y + 3 z = 1

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&1\\5&5&4\\3&2&3\end{array}\right]

= 45 + 10 + 24 - (30 + 24 + 15)

= 79 - 69

Δ = 10

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&2&1\\3&5&4\\1&2&3\end{array}\right]

= 105 + 6 + 8 - (18 + 56 + 5)

= 119 - 79

Δx = 40

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&7&1\\5&3&4\\3&1&3\end{array}\right]

= 27 + 5 + 84 - ( 105 + 12 + 9)

= 116 - 126

Δy = -10

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&7\\5&5&3\\3&2&1\end{array}\right]

= 15 + 70 + 18 - (10 + 18 + 105)

= 103 - 133

= -30

Δz = -30

x = Δx /Δ = 40/10 = 4

y = Δy/Δ = -10/10 = -1

z = Δz/Δ = -30/10 = -3
