For this case we have the following expression:

$7a-2b = 5ab$

From here, we must clear the value of a.

We then have the following steps:

Place the terms that depend on a on the same side of the equation:

$7a - 5ab = 2b$

Do common factor "a":

$a (7 - 5b) = 2b$

Clear the value of "a" by dividing the factor within the parenthesis:

$a =\frac{2b}{7-5b}$

Answer:

The clear expression for "a" is given by:

$a =\frac{2b}{7-5b}$

Answer: The required value of a is $\dfrac{2b}{7-5b}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for the value of a:

$7a-2b=5ab~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since there are two unknowns and only one equation , so the value of a will definitely contain the value of b.

The solution of equation (i) for a is as follows:

$7a-2b=5ab\\\\\Rightarrow 7a-5ab=2b\\\\\Rightarrow a(7-5b)=2b\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2b}{7-5b}.$

Thus, the required value of a is $\dfrac{2b}{7-5b}.$

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.4 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.1 in/s. At

kow [346]

Given:

$\dfrac{dr}{dt}=1.4\text{ in/s}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-2.1\text{ in/s}$

To find:

The rate of change in volume at $r=120\text{ in. and }175\text{ in.}$

Solution:

We know that, volume of a cone is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Differentiate with respect to t.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi\times \left[(r^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}) + h(2r\dfrac{dr}{dt})\right]$

Substitute the given values.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times \left[(120)^2(-2.1) +175(2)(120)(1.4)\right]$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{22}{21}\times \left[-30240+58800\right]$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{22}{21}\times 28560$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=29920$

Therefore, the volume of decreased by 29920 cubic inches per second.

Which is bigger 0.96 0r 19/20

REY [17]

0.96 or 19/20

0.96 as fraction = 96/100 = 19.2 / 20 5 into 96 is 19.2 and 5 into 100 is 20

So 0.96 is the same as 19.2/20

Since 19.2 / 20 and 19 / 20 have the same denominator, therefore the 19.2 / 20 is bigger than 19 / 20.

So the 0.96 is bigger than the 19 / 20.
