Y = -4/5 x - 2
-9 = -4/5 x - 2
-4/5 x = -9 + 2 = -7
-4x = 5(-7) = -35
x = -35/-4 = 35/4

Given that 3x-y : x+2y = 2 : 5, Determine the ratio x:y

N76 [4]

Answer:

x : y = 9 : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

3x - y : x + 2y = 2 : 5

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

$\frac{3x-y}{x+2y}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(3x - y) = 2(x + 2y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

15x - 5y = 2x + 4y ( subtract 2x from both sides )

13x - 5y = 4y ( add 5y to both sides )

13x = 9y ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = $\frac{9}{13}$ y ( divide both sides by y )

$\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{9}{13}$ , that is

x : y = 9 : 13
