Answer:

a : b = 19 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4a - 5b  : 5a + 4b = 1 : 3

Expressing in fractional form, that is

\frac{4a-5b}{5a+4b} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(4a - 5b) = 5a + 4b ← distribute left side

12a - 15b = 5a + 4b ( subtract 5a from both sides )

7a - 15b = 4b ( add 15b to both sides )

7a = 19b ( divide both sides by 7 )

a = \frac{19}{7} b ( divide both sides by b )

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{19}{7}

That is a : b = 19 : 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4a-5b:5a+4b=1:3

4a-5b/5a+4b=1:3cross multiply

3(4a-5b)=1(5a+4b)

12a-15b=5a+4b

Collect like terms

12a-5a=4b+15b

7a=19b

a:b=7:19

Justify each step used to simplify the expression. 1. 3x+ 2y− 2x+ 2 = 3x− 2x+ 2y+ 2
Sergio [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the given expression:

1. 3x+2y-2x+23x+2y−2x+2

Combining the like terms,we get the second step as

2. (3x-2x)+(2y)+(2)(3x−2x)+(2y)+(2)

Now, taking 'x' common from the first two terms, we get third step as:

3. (3-2)x+2y+2(3−2)x+2y+2

Now, simplifying the expressions among the like terms, we get fourth step as:

4. x+2y+2x+2y+2

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 4x – 4y = -4 that contains the point (-5, -2).
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Y = -X - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

y-(-2)= -1(x-(-5)

y+2 = -1(x+5)

Solve for y

subtract 2 from both sides

y=-x-5-2

Y = -x-7

What two numbers have the product of -135 and the sum of 6?
Andrews [41]
Step 1: Find factors of 135 

1 and 135
3 and 45
5 and 27
9 and 15

Remember the rules for multiplication involving negatives:

Multiplying a negative with a negative will always be positive.
Multiplying a negative with a positive will always be negative. 

So in order for the product to be -135, one number of each factor pair will need to be negative. 

Step 2: Figure out which factor pair will add together to get the sum of 6
(Remember at least one from each pair will be negative)

Part A: 
1 + (-135) = -134
3 + (-45) = -42
5 + (-27) = -22
9 + (-15) = -6

Part B:
135 + (-1) = 134
45 + (-3) = 42
27 + (-5) = 22
15 + (-9) = 6

(Knowing that the sum of adding a larger negative number to a smaller positive number will be negative, will make this a bit faster because you would just skip to Part B) 

The sum of 15 and -9 is 6. So there is the answer.

You can also check it, just to make sure it's the correct answer.

15 × (-9) = -135
15 + (-9) = 6

Find the vertex of the given quadratic function.
ki77a [65]

B

given f(x) in factored form, equate to zero for x-intercepts

(x - 8)(x - 4) = 0, hence

x = 4, x = 8 ← x- intercepts

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is situated at the midpoint of the x- intercepts

x- coordinate of vertex = \frac{4+8}{2} = 6

f(6) = (6 - 8 )(6 - 4 ) = -2 × 2 = - 4 ← y-coordinate

vertex = (6, - 4 ) → B
