Answer:

\frac{b}{a} = - \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a+2b}{a-b} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

2(a - b) = 3(a + 2b) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

2a - 2b = 3a + 6b ( subtract 3a from both sides )

- a - 2b = 6b ( add 2b to both sides )

- a = 8b ( divide both sides by 8 )

- \frac{1}{8} a = b ( divide both sides by a )

- \frac{1}{8} = \frac{b}{a}

Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2b=2

a-b=3

Solve Simultaneous equations by Formula 1 - Formula 2

2b - (-b) = 2-3

3b = -1

b= -1/3

b= -1/3

so: a - (-1/3) = 3

a = 8/3

b/a=

(8/3) / (-1/3)

= (8/3) * (3/-1)

simplify

=-1/8

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

24 people

Step-by-step explanation:

((The numbers are up there, so I am not going to define each variable.))

For starters, there is no overlap between the double facilities groups, except the triple facility users, so:

19 + 9 + 16 - 4 = 40 people

Since there is overlap between single and double groups, you will need to subtract, so:

Gym: 73 - 19 - 16 = 38

Pool: 59 - 19 - 9 = 31

Track: 31 - 9 - 16 = 6

Total for 1 facility: 38 + 31 + 6 - 4 = 71 people

((Minus 4 because the 4 triple facility users overlap the double facility users (problem is in layers: layer 1 minus layer 2, then minus layer 3).))

Next, add the totals:

71 + 40 = 111 people (using facilities)

135 - 111 = 24 people (who didn't use any)

(((I'm not 100% sure on this answer, so if someone could check my work, that would be much appreciated.)))
