*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A f(x) = 15(7x)

Company B g(x) = 100x + 5

If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her more if she rents from Company B

A = 105(2) = 210

B = 100(2) + 5 = 205   B costs less  False

f Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her less if she rents from Company B

A = 105(2) = 210

B = 100(2) + 5 = 205   B costs less  True

If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her the same at either company

A = 105(1) = 105

B = 100(1) +5 = 105   True

If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her more if she rents from Company A  

A = 105(1) = 105

B = 100(1) +5 = 105    False

h(x) = 5x – 5  

h(x) = f(x) – g(x)

      =15(7x) - ( 100x + 5)

      = 105x - 100x -5

      = 5x-5   True

h(x) = 5x + 5  False
