Given:

The product of two numbers is (-9/16).
One of the numbers is (-4/15)

To find: The other number.

Answer:

Let's assume the unknown number to be 'x'.

(-4/15) × x = (-9/16)

× = (-9/16) ÷ (-4/15)

When we divide a fraction by another fraction, the divisor will be taken in its reciprocal form.

x = (-9/16) × (-15/4)

x = 135/64

Therefore, the other number is 135/64.

Hope it helps. :)

He simultaneous equations<br>5x + y = 21<br>x - 3y = 9 <br><br>With working out

Elza [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + y = 21 → (1)

x - 3y = 9 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and add the result to (2) to eliminate y term

15x + 3y = 63 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(x + 15x) + )- 3y + 3y) = (9 + 63)

16x = 72 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 4.5

Substitute x = 4.5 into (1) for corresponding value of y

22.5 + y = 21 ( subtract 22.5 from both sides )

y = - 1.5

Solution is (4.5, - 1.5 )

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that is perpendicular to y=2x+2 and passes through the point (4, 3)?

Ostrovityanka [42]

<h2>Answer: y = - ¹/₂ x + 5 </h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>

<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are negative-reciprocals of each other.

⇒ if the slope of this line = 2 (y = 2x + 2)

then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = - ¹/₂

<u>Determine the equation</u>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

⇒ y - 3 = - ¹/₂ (x - 4)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

since y - 3 = - ¹/₂ (x - 4)

y = - ¹/₂ x + 5 (in slope-intercept form)

What is equivalent to -2i(6-7i)

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

-14 - 12i

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply complex arithmetic rule: (ai)(b + ci) = -ac + abi

a = 2, b = 6, c = -7

-( -2(-7) + 2*6i )

-( 14 + 12i)

-14 - 12i
