Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a=5, b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equation, you get:

3ax +6 -4x -4b - 11x - 14 = 0 =>

3ax - 15x -4b -8 = 0

group together x's and constants:

(3a-15)x -8 -4b = 0

To make this 0 for all x, we have to find an a such that 3a-15 = 0 and b such that -8-4b = 0. this leads to a=5, b=-2

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

s = 2j

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Ada makes sparkling juice by mixing 2 cups of sparkling water

            with every 4 cups of apple juice. Let s represent the number of

            cups of sparkling water and j represent the number of cups of

             apple juice.

To find - Write an equation that shows how s and j are related.

Proof -

Let total number of cups of sparkling water make = s

     Total number of cups of apple juice make = j

Now,

Given that, Ada makes sparkling juice by mixing 2 cups of sparkling water with every 4 cups of apple juice.

⇒2s = 4j

⇒s = 2j

∴ we get

Ada can makes sparking water by mixing 2j cups of sparking water with every j cups of apple juice.

If Dr. Suzuki rides his bike to his​ office, he averages 9 miles per hour. If he drives his​ car, he averages 27 miles per hour.
Helen [10]
Speed
Riding speed = 9 mph
Driving speed = 27 mph

Time
If x hours is the time taken when riding, (x - 1/3) hours  is the time taken when driving.

Distance in both instances is the same, D= Speed * time

Therefore,
9*x = 27(x-1/3)
9x = 27x - 27/2
9x = 27x - 9
(9-27)x = -9
-18x = -9
x = 9/18 = 1/2 hours

Distance, D = 1/2 *9 = 4.5 miles
