Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

A bus covers a distance of 90km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15km/hour it would have taken 30 minutes less for the jou
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let's say d = distance, r = speed and t = time

We know the distance formula is :

distance = speed x time

d = r multiplied by t

d = rt

If the speed is 15km/hr, the time would be 30 minutes shorter.

Since d = rt,

90 = 15t

t = 6,

This means the time taken for the bus to complete the journey at 15km/hr would be 6hrs.

Originally though, the journey takes 30 minutes longer.

So we can say t = 6.5 hrs , and we know d = 90

Now we use the distance formula:

d = rt, since we want to find the original speed, we want to find r.

Speed = distance/time

r = d/t

r = 90/6.5

r = 180/13

Therefore the original speed is 180/13 km/hr

What is the value of x ? 6.75 + 3/8x = 13 1/4
Bad White [126]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6.75+38x=1314

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

38x+6.75=534

Step 2: Subtract 6.75 from both sides.

38x+6.75−6.75=534−6.75

38x=132

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/3.

(83)*(38x)=(83)*(132)

x=523

Answer:

x=1713

Write five fractions that each simplify to one-ninth
egoroff_w [7]
2/18
3/27
4/36
5/45
6/54

Take any number let's say 9
Then 9/9 = 1
Or 9/9 = 1/1
Then if you multiply the bottom half of those by 9, you get
9/9 becomes 9/81
and
1/1 becomes 1/9

So to generate any fraction equivalent to 1/9
take any number and write it as one, i.e. 5/5 = 1 (or 1/1)
and then multiply the bottom part by 9 = 5/45

A division problem divides a 3-digit number by a 1 digit number. The quotient is 307 r3. What could the division problem be?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

There is no solution to this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1 digit number cannot be 1, since there would be no remainder.

The 1 digit number cannot be 2, since the remainder could be 0 or 1.

The 1 digit number cannot be 3, since the remainder could be 0, 1, or 2.

So, the 1 digit number must be greater than 3.  Let's start with 4.  Since the quotient is 307 (remainder 3), 4 x 307 is already more than 3 digits.
