Answer:
b^2 + 4 a b - 2 b - 2 a^2 + -5 a
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
-2 a (a + b - 5) + 3 (2 b - 5 a) + b (6 a + b - 8)
-2 a (-5 + a + b) = 10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b + 3 (2 b - 5 a) + b (6 a + b - 8)
3 (2 b - 5 a) = 6 b - 15 a:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b + 6 b - 15 a + b (6 a + b - 8)
b (-8 + 6 a + b) = -8 b + 6 a b + b^2:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b - 15 a + 6 b + -8 b + 6 a b + b^2
Grouping like terms, 10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b - 15 a + 6 b - 8 b + 6 a b + b^2 = b^2 + (6 a b - 2 a b) + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a):
b^2 + (6 a b - 2 a b) + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
a b 6 + a b (-2) = 4 a b:
b^2 + 4 a b + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
6 b - 8 b = -2 b:
b^2 + 4 a b + -2 b - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
10 a - 15 a = -5 a:
Answer: b^2 + 4 a b - 2 b - 2 a^2 + -5 a
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
32:12
8:3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply both sides of 16:6 you'll get 32:12
If you divide both side of 16:6 by 2 you'll get 8:3
The same thing needs to be done to both sides to make the ratio equivalent
For two ratios to form a proportion they have to be equal.
To see if two ratios are equal we express them in their simplest form.
In this case we notice that in the first ratio both numbers are multiples of five, then:

In the second case we notice that both numbers are multiples of 2, then:

Since both ratios can be simplified to the same final ratio, they form a proportion.
