Find the ratio a:b if it is given that 2a-b/6 = b/3, then what is a?

Mathematics

PolarNik [594]3 years ago

Answer:

a = b/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the LCD in this equation is 6. Rewriting 2a-b/6 = b/3 using this LCD, we get:

2a-b/6 = 2b/6

Multiplying all three terms by 6 eliminates the fractions:

12a - b = 2b

Combining like terms:

12a = 3b

                                                       3b

Solving this for a, we get   a = ------------ = b/4

                                                       12

a = b/4

Answer:

A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot. This line may pass through some of the points, none of the points, or all of the points. A real world example would be a scatter plot of the number if balloons bought each year and a straight line going diagonally representing the average or goal of the number of balloons bought. The points may be above (signaling that the number of balloons purchased was higher than normal or exceeded the goal) or they may be below (signaling that balloon sales are lower than normal or didnt meet there goals). I hope this helps, if not then I apologize

12.21 is 3.7 times the number p.
ASHA 777 [7]
P3.7 = 12.21 (p × 3.7 = 12.21)

p÷3.7 = 12.21÷3.7 (p÷3.7 cancels out p×3.7 and leaves you left with the equation p = 12.21÷3.7)

p=3.3

A Rectangle is removed from a right triangle to create the shaded region below. Find the area of the shaded region be sure to in
Scorpion4ik [409]

The given shapes area is found to be 4 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To determine the area of an indefinite shape we must divide it into the shapes that we know. The shape that is given can be split into a triangle with a rectangle in it.

Step 2; Any given triangles area is half the multiplication of its base value and its height value. In the given diagram, the base of the triangle measures a length of 5 yards and the length from base to top is 4 yards

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2} * base * height = \frac{1}{2} * 5 * 4 = 10 square yards.

The given rectangle measures a length of 3 yards and a width of 2 yards. The area of any given rectangle is the multiplication of its length and width.

Area of the rectangle = Length * Width = 3 yards * 2 yards = 6 square yards.

Step 3; To find the total area of the shape we must subtract the the rectangle's area from the triangle's area.

Area of given shape = Area of the triangle - Area of the rectangle.

Area of given shape = 10 square yards - 6 square yards = 4 square yards.

An art gallery sells paintings at .35 per square inch
VashaNatasha [74]

1 foot = 12 inches

 2 x 12 = 24 +3 = 27 inches

3 x 12 = 36 +5 = 41 inches

27*41 = 1107 square inches

1107 * 0.35 = $387.45

Which of the following is defined by a line parallel to one side of a triangle
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Triangle Proportionality Theorem is  defined by a line parallel to one side of a triangle  divides the other two sides proportionally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangular Proportionality Theorem states that:

  • If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides those sides proportionally.

Let us consider the triangle ΔABC as shown in attached figure.

If

DE║AC

then

\frac{BD}{DA} = \frac{BE}{EC}

Therefore, Triangle Proportionality Theorem is  defined by a line parallel to one side of a triangle  divides the other two sides proportionally.

Keywords: Triangle Proportionality Theorem, triangle, line segment
