Answer:a=3/4 and b=40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 3/8=a/2=15/b

Firstly find a

3/8=a/2

Cross multiply

8a=3×2

8a=6

a=6/8

a=3/4

To find b

a/2=15/b

Where a=3/4

3/4/2=15/b

3/8=15/b

Cross multiply

3b=120

b=40

a=3/4 and b=40

Find each function value.
Levart [38]

Put the values of x to the equations of the functions:

1. f(9) → x = 9; f(x) = -3x + 10

f(9) = -3(9) + 10 = -27 + 10 = -17

2. f(-2) → x = -2; f(x) = 4x - 1

f(-2) = 4(-2) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9

3. f(-5) → x = -5; f(x) = -2x + 8

f(-5) = -2(-5) + 8 = 10 + 8 = 18
