Answer:
3 a : 2 b = 6 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>
=
</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>
2 a = 8 b</em>
<em><u>a = 4 b</u></em>
<em>3 a = 3 × 4 b</em>
<em><u>3 a = 12 b</u></em>
<em>3 a: 2 b = 12 b : 2 b</em>
<em>3 a : 2 b = 6 : 1</em>
4/3
explanation : just write it in fraction form
Answer:
The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)
solve and get
(2.5,17.5)
or x= 2.5 y=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x
7x-x=15
6x=15
x=2.5
Then we can solve for y
y=7(2.5)
y=17.5
3+x=7Becayse you get the three and add it to a variable equals 7
