*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.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

the rate is: 6 cups of flour per cup of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that rate involve quotient of the two quantities in question:

Then cups of flour per cups of water is the quotient: 2 cups of flour divided by 1/3 cup of water:

$\frac{2}{\frac{1}{3} } =2\,*\,\frac{3}{1} = 6$

this means 6 cups of flour per cup of water

What is the value of b and the missing symbol in Jamilla’s inequality?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

$b=1, \geq$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The absolute value function has two solutions

Observing the graph

the solutions are

$x\geq 1$ and $x\leq -3$

First solution (case positive)

assume the symbol of the first solution and then compare the results

$\left|x+b\right|\ge2$

$(x+b)\ge2$

$x\ge2-b$

$2-b=1\\b=2-1\\ b=1$

Second solution (case negative)

$-(x+b)\ge2$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$(x+b)\leq-2$

substitute the value of b and compare the results

$(x+1)\leq-2$

$x\leq-2-1$

$x\leq-3$ -------> is correct
