Answer:
y= ab if a≠b
Step-by-step explanation:
y/a −b= y/b −a
multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions
ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)
distribute
ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a
b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b
subtract ay on each side
by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b
by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b
add ab^2 to each side
by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b
by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b
factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right
y (b-a) = ab(b-a)
divide by (b-a)
y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a) b-a ≠0 or b≠a
y = ab
It would need to be 16.4592 meters higher which rounds to 16 meters rounded to the nearest tenth
The length of the bigger piece is 28 and the total length is 40
Answer:
slope of line ax + by = c is -a/b
so, slope of 7x +2y =5 is -7/2
