Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
2a - b : 2a + b = 1 : 2
2a - b = 1
- Elimination
2a + b = 2
-b - (b) = -1
-2b = -1
b = 0.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2a + b = 2 Substitution
2a + 0.5 = 2
2a = 1.5
a = 0.75
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a:b
0.75 : 0.5
or
3/4 : 1/2
Hope this helps!!!
A) x * y = 42 (or x = 42/y)
B) x + y = 23
B) 42/y + y = 23
42 + y^2 = 23y
y^2 -23y + 42 = 0
The numbers are 21 and 2
