What is the ratio of x to y? 2 x ---- = -------- 3 3x+y

2 answers:

8 0

2/3 = x/(3x + y)

Cross multiply:

3x = 2(3x + y)

Distribute 2:

3x = 6x + 2y

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3x = 2y

Divide 'y' to both sides:

-3x/y = 2

Divide -3 to both sides:

x/y = -2/3

2/3 = x/3x + y
2(3x + y) = 3x
2(3x) + 2(y) = 3x
 6x + 2y = 3x
 - 6x - 6x
 2y = -3x
 2 2
 y = -1.5x

The real numbers $x$ and $y$ are such that \begin{align*} x + y &= 4, \\ x^2 + y^2 &= 22, \\ x^4 &= y^4 - 176 \sqrt{

tamaranim1 [39]

You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:

$x^4-y^4=-176\sqrt7$

The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with

$x^4-y^4=(x^2-y^2)(x^2+y^2)=(x-y)(x+y)(x^2+y^2)$

Plug in everything you know and solve for $x-y$ :

$-176\sqrt7=(x-y)\cdot4\cdot22\implies x-y=\boxed{-2\sqrt7}$
