Y/a −b= y/b −a, if a≠b solve for y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y= ab    if a≠b

Step-by-step explanation:

y/a −b= y/b −a

multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions

ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)

distribute

ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a

b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b

subtract ay on each side

by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b

by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b

add ab^2 to each side

by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b

by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b

factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right

y (b-a) = ab(b-a)

divide by (b-a)

y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a)    b-a ≠0   or b≠a

y = ab

Alright. So we have 2 eggs at 2.49 each. That is $4.98. We have .25 pounds cheese priced at $13.40 per pound. 13.40 x .25 = $3.35. Then we have juice at $5.49. If we add those up we get: 4.98+3.35+5.49=$13.82. Then we get $0.75 in change, so if we add $13.82 and 0.75 we get: $14.57

The answer is $14.57.

How much interest is earned in 2 years on an investment of $2000? The interest rate is 3%
erik [133]
Answer:
A = $ 2,120.00

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year,
then, solving our equation

A = 2000(1 + (0.03 × 2)) = 2120 
A = $ 2,120.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 2,000.00
at a rate of 3% per year
for 2 years is $ 2,120.00.

I don't know how to solve this
sergiy2304 [10]
The answer that I got was side  WX = 12 inches

It says that WY is congruent to XY which means that they are the same. That means that XY is also 3m-4. It also says that the perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches.

With this information I set up an equation:

3m-4 + 3m-4 +m = 76

(The number on the right side is the perimeter given to us in the problem and the numbers on the left side are the 3 side lengths).

I combined like terms on the left side and ended up with:

7m-8=76 

I added 8 to both sides of the equation and got 7m=84.

Finally I divided both sides by 7 and got m=12

m is equivalent to side WX..

Hope this helps!
