Unless you made an error in the notation

Solve for b:
-4 a - 26 b = 0
Factor constant terms from the left hand side:
-2 (2 a + 13 b) = 0
Divide both sides by -2:
2 a + 13 b = 0
Subtract 2 a from both sides:
13 b = -2 a
Divide both sides by 13:
Answer: b = -(2 a)/13

Solve for a:
6 (a - b) - 5 (2 a + 4 b) = 0
Expand out terms of the left-hand side:
-4 a - 26 b = 0
Factor constant terms from the left hand side:
-2 (2 a + 13 b) = 0
Divide both sides by -2:
2 a + 13 b = 0
Subtract 13 b from both sides:
2 a = -13 b
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer:  a = -(13 b)/2

A hacker is trying to guess someone's password. The hacker knows (somehow) that the password is 15 characters long, and that eac
Arisa [49]
There are 26 possible lowercase letters, 26 possible uppercase letters, and 10 possible numbers (0-9). 26+26+10=62 That means there's a 1/62 chance that they get one letter right. But there's 15 letters. They're chance would decrease each time to get it exact. 1/62 divided by 15/1 = 1/832 So there is a 1 in 832 chance that the hacker guesses it correct first try with that information.

Which ratio is not equivalent to 15/18?<br> A: 25/30<br> B: 90/105<br> C: 60/72<br> D: 35/42
professor190 [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the two numbers should equal the same amount when dividing.

For example, in A

25÷15=1.666...

30÷18=1.666...

Both of these answers are the same so that means that 25/30 is equivalent to 15/18

When you're dividing B though, they don't equal the same amount

90÷15=6

105÷18= 5.833...

that means that 90/105 does NOT equal 15/18

good luck
