Answer:

a:b = -17:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a-3b}{a+2b} = \frac{4}{3}

Required

Find a:b

\frac{a-3b}{a+2b} = \frac{4}{3}

Cross Multiply

3(a-3b) = 4(a+2b)

Open brackets

3a - 9b = 4a + 8b

Collect Like Terms

3a - 4a = 8b+9b

-a = 17b

Divide through by -b

\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{17b}{-b}

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{17}{-1}

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{-17}{1}

Represent as a ratio

a:b = -17:1

80 POINTS + BRAINLIEST !!!!!!!!
Gre4nikov [31]

Solution:

we are given that

Clayton needs to reflect the triangle below across the line y=x.

And as we know the reflection of the point (x,y) across  the line y = x is the point (y, x).

Hence the new Traingle will be on the other side of the line y=x and position of x and y-coordinates of the vertices of the trangle gets interchanged.

Hence the Options that applies are:

C’ will move because all points move in a reflection.

The image and the pre-image will be congruent triangles. (Because reflection just changes the position of the trinagle not the property)

The image and pre-image will not have the same orientation because reflections flip figures.

Identify the factors of x2-8x-20
sukhopar [10]
Simplifying x2 + -8x = 20 Reorder the terms: -8x + x2 = 20 Solving -8x + x2 = 20 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -20 + -8x + x2 = 20 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 -20 + -8x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-2 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x = 0 Solving -2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 2 -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-2, 10}
