If h:k = 2:5, x:y=3:4 and 2h+x:k+2y = 1:2, find the ratio h-x: k-y.

fenix001 [56]

Given:

$h:k=2:5,x:y=3:4,2h+x:k+2y=1:2$

To find:

$h-x:k-y$

Solution:

We have, $h:k=2:5$ and $x:y=3:4$ .

Let the values of h and k are 2a and 5a respectively.

Let the values of x and y are 3b and 4b respectively.

We have,

$2h+x:k+2y=1:2$

It can be written as

$\dfrac{2h+x}{k+2y}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{2(2a)+(3b)}{5a+2(4b)}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{4a+3b}{5a+8b}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$2(4a+3b)=1(5a+8b)$

On further simplification, we get

$8a+6b=5a+8b$

$8a-5a=8b-6b$

$3a=2b$

$a=\dfrac{2b}{3}$

Now,

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{h-x}{k-y}$

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{2-3b}{5a-4b}$

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{2\times \dfrac{2b}{3}-3b}{5\times \dfrac{2b}{3}-4b}$

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{\dfrac{4b}{3}-3b}{\dfrac{10b}{3}-4b}$

On further simplification, we get

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{\dfrac{4b-9b}{3}}{\dfrac{10b-12b}{3}}$

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{-5b}{-2b}$

$h-x:k-y=\dfrac{5}{2}$

$h-x:k-y=5:2$

Therefore, the ratio $h-x:k-y$ is $5:2$ .

Can someone help me on letters B and C?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

B.

if he is just talking about the length than it is,

4(13x + 8)

of he is talking about overall length he swam than,

4(13x + 8) + 3(7x - 2)

c.

if x = 12

than

perimeter = 2l + 2b

so, after inserting the values we got,

→ 2[13(12) + 8] + 2[7(12) - 2]

→ 2 (156 + 8) + 2(84 - 2)

→ 2 × 164 + 2 × 82

→ 328 + 164

→ 492 ft. ← perimeter

and yeah, according to me

a is wrong as,

formula of perimeter = 2l + 2b or 2(l+b)

so, the answer should be,

2(13x + 8) + 2(7x - 2) or 2 [ (13x + 8) + (7x - 2)
