Answer

$\frac{ba-b^{2} }{ab-a^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1-\frac{b}{a} }{1-\frac{a}{b} } = \frac{\frac{a-b}{a}}{\frac{b-a}{b}} = \frac{b(a-b)}{a(b-a)}$

$\frac{ba -b^{2} }{ab-a^{2} }$

If y-3x=9, 7x+y=25, what is the value of x and y?

lianna [129]

$\bold{\rm{Given}}\text{ : If y - 3x = 9, 7x + y = 25, what is the value of x and y}?$

$\bold{\rm{Solution}} \text{: We'll solve this by substitution method}$

$\dashrightarrow y - 3x = 9 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \boxed{y = 9 + 3x } \qquad .. \sf eq(1)$

$\text{we got the value of y now getting the value of x}$

$\looparrowright 7x + y = 25 \\ \\ \looparrowright 7x = 25 - y \\ \\ \looparrowright \boxed{x = \frac{25 - y}{7}} \qquad .. \sf eq(2)$

$\text{Now, putting y = 9 + 3x in eq(2)}$

$\hookrightarrow x = \frac{25 - y}{7} \\ \\ \hookrightarrow x = \frac{25 - 9 + 3x}{7} \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 7x = 25 - 9 + 3x \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 7x - 3x = 16 \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 4x = 16 \\ \\ \hookrightarrow x = \frac{16}{4} \\ \\ \star \quad \boxed{ \green{ \frak{ x = 4}}}$

$\text{Now we know the value of x, for getting y we need to put x in eq(1)}$

$: \implies y = 9 + 3x \\ \\ : \implies y = 9 + 3(4) \\ \\ : \implies y = 9 + 12 \\ \\ \star \quad \boxed{\frak{ \green{y = 21}}}$

$\text{Hence, values of x and y are} \: \frak{ \green{4}} \: \text{and} \: \frak{ \green{21}} \: \text{respectively}.$

x = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants intersecting the circle from a point outside the circle then

The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is

x(x + 14) = 6(6 + 12)

x² + 14x = 6 × 18 = 108 ( subtract 108 from both sides )

x² + 14x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = 14 and c = - 108

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x

x = ( - b ± $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ ) / 2a
