Question 77271: Correct Question :"
Let a and b be distict real numbers for which
a/b + (a+10b) / (b+10a) = 2
The value of a/b is
a) .5 b) .6 c) .8 d) 1 or .8
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
we get: 10a - 8b = 0
10a = 8b
a = .8b and b = 1.25a
a / b or .8b / 1.25a or .8(1.25a) / 1.25a = 0.8
we get: a - b = 0
a = b
a / b = b / b = 1
