One a piece of paper graph this system of inequalities y<-1/3x+3, y>3x+2

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y < -\frac{1}{3}x+3$ ----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area below the dashed line $y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3$

The slope of the dashed line is negative

The y-intercept of the dashed line is 3

The x-intercept of the dashed line is 9

$y > 3x+2$ ----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the dashed line $y=3x+2$

The slope of the dashed line is positive

The y-intercept of the dashed line is 2

The x-intercept of the dashed line is -2/3

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the two dashed lines

see the attached figure

Answer:

$a:b = -17:1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{a-3b}{a+2b} = \frac{4}{3}$

Required

Find a:b

$\frac{a-3b}{a+2b} = \frac{4}{3}$

Cross Multiply

$3(a-3b) = 4(a+2b)$

Open brackets

$3a - 9b = 4a + 8b$

Collect Like Terms

$3a - 4a = 8b+9b$

$-a = 17b$

Divide through by -b

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

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{17}{-1}$

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{-17}{1}$

Represent as a ratio

$a:b = -17:1$
