Find the value of x and y in this problem.

Mathematics

Brut [27]3 years ago

\frac{x}{y} = - \frac{3}{2}

given

\frac{x-y}{x+y} = 5 ( cross- multiply )

5(x + y) = x - y

5x + 5y = x - y ( subtract (x - y) from both sides )

4x + 6y = 0 ( subtract 6y from both sides )

4x = - 6y

\frac{x}{y} = - \frac{6}{4} = - \frac{3}{2}
