Since this is a proportion we cross multiply.
b+2/b-1=4/5 
b-1(4)=b+2(5)
  4b-4=5b+10
    +4 = +4
     4b=5b+14
    -5b=-5b
    -1b=14
divide by -1 on both sides
b=-14

Explain why the sum or product of rational numbers is rational; why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irr
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Rational numbers are fractional numbers, whose numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is ever zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of rational numbers gives a rational number;

   \frac{1}{3}  + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} , because the evaluation of the denominator always results to a non-zero integer.

The product of  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}, which multiply both numerator and denominator to give integer numbers.

The sum and product of rational and irrational numbers are always irrational numbers, for instance,

           \frac{1}{3} x 7 = 2.3 , which is a number which decimal points that can only be represented by the product irrational number and rational number , where 7 is an irrational number.

       \frac{1}{3} + 7 =  7\frac{1}{3} , which is a whole number and fractional number combined.
