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

Write y=-(3/5)x-2 in standard form using integers <br> please thank you
juin [17]
Y= -3/5x - 2       Add -3/5x to both sides 
3/5x +y= -2        Multiply both sides by 5 because 5 is the denominator.
                        By multiplying by 5 you can cancel out and make it a real number. 
5(3/5x +y) = -2(5) 
 
   3x + 5y= -10  is the answer.
