Crank3 years ago

Answer:

14: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  \frac{2a - 3b}{5}  =  \frac{a + b}{3}

<em>Cross multiply:</em>

3(2a -3b)= 5(a +b)

<em>Expand:</em>

6a -9b= 5a +5b

<em>Move all a terms to one side, b terms to the other:</em>

6a -5a= 9b +5b

<em>Simplify:</em>

a= 14b

<em>Divide by b on both sides:</em>

\frac{a}{b}  = 14

<em>Rewriting 14 as a fraction:</em>

\frac{a}{b}  =  \frac{14}{1}

∴ a: b= 14: 1

Determine which ordered pair makes the equation true.<br> 2x + y = 11
slavikrds [6]
There is no one ordered pair that makes the equation true, this is a line which has infinitely many ordered pairs that are true...

2x+y=11  subtract 2x from both sides and you have the line in slope intercept form..

y=11-2x

For any real given value of x, you will get one real unique corresponding value for y, resulting in infinitely many unique (x,y) values, points, or ordered pairs, satisfying the given equation.

I assume that you were given "choices" to pick from because of the above reality.  So if any of your choices does not satisfy y=11-2x it is not an ordered pair satisfying the equation.

Answer:

  angles 1, 3, 6, 8 = 142°

  angles 2, 4, 5, 7 = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles and corresponding angles are congruent, as are alternate interior angles. Hence the angles 1, 3, 6, 8 are all congruent:

  ∠1 = ∠3 = ∠6 = ∠8 = 142°

Each of the remaining angles forms a linear pair with one or another of those, so is its supplement:

  ∠2 = ∠4 = ∠5 = ∠7 = 180° -142° = 38°
