Mathematics

Kryger [21]3 years ago

Answer:

a:b = 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given:

 2a - b        1

----------- = ------

2a + b        2

Then, through cross-multiplication, we get:

4a - 2b = 2a + b, or

2a = 3b

We want the value of the ratio a:b.  To obtain this, divide both sides by b, which results in

  2a

------- = 3

    b

Finally, we divide both sides by 2, obtaining the desired ratio:

a:b = 3:2

How many solutions exist for the given equation?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) + -2

Reorder the terms:

1 + 12x = 3(4x + 1) + -2

Reorder the terms:

1 + 12x = 3(1 + 4x) + -2

1 + 12x = (1 * 3 + 4x * 3) + -2

1 + 12x = (3 + 12x) + -2

Reorder the terms:

1 + 12x = 3 + -2 + 12x

Combine like terms: 3 + -2 = 1

1 + 12x = 1 + 12x

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + 12x = 1 + -1 + 12x

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + 12x = 1 + -1 + 12x

12x = 1 + -1 + 12x

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

12x = 0 + 12x

12x = 12x

Add '-12x' to each side of the equation.

12x + -12x = 12x + -12x

Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0

0 = 12x + -12x

Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
