Answer:

<h2>5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x) = ax² +bx, we are to determine the value of b-a. Before we determine the vwlue of b-a, we need to first calculate for the value of a and b from the given expression.

On expanding the left hand side of the expression we have;

= (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x)

Open the paranthesis

= 8x² −15x−x²+27x

collect the like terms

= 8x²−x²+27x −15x

=  7x²+12x

Comparing the resulting expression with ax²+bx

7x²+12x =  ax²+bx

7x² = ax²

a = 7

Also;

12x = bx

b =12

The value of b - a = 12 - 7

b -a = 5

Hence the value of b-a is equivalent to 5

If x represents the probability of an event happening, then which of the following represents the probability that the event wil
Bad White [126]
If the turn out of an event is to take place or not to take place only then, the sum of the probability of it taking place and not taking place is 1. If we represent the probability of it taking place by x then, the probability of it not taking place is equal to 1 - x.

Ugo [173]
5 : 3


D1 = 3km = 3000 m (1km = 1000m)
D2 = 1800m


Ratio of D1:D2
=3000/1800
=1000/600 (dividing by 3)
=10/6 (dividing by 100)
=5/3 (dividing by 2)

= 5 : 3
