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

Which figure will tessellate the plane? A. regular pentagon B. regular decagon C. regular octagon D. regular hexagon
Harrizon [31]
<h3>Answer: D. regular hexagon</h3>

A hexagon is composed of 6 congruent equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has interior angle of 60 degrees. Adding 6 such angles together gets you to 360 degrees. So we've done one full rotation and covered every bit of the plane surrounding a given point. Extend this out and you'll be able to cover the plane. A similar situation happens with rectangles as well (think of a grid, or think of tiles on the wall or floor)

In contrast, a regular pentagon has interior angle 108 degrees. This is not a factor of 360, so there is no way to place regular pentagons to have them line up and not be a gap or overlap. This is why regular pentagons do not tessellate the plane. The same can be aside about decagons and octagons as well.

When I solved this equation I got x=0.5
qwelly [4]

You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.

When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:

2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify

2x + 3 = 2

2x = -1

x = -1/2

If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
