Question 1106035
factor the equation to get:


(u - 2v) * (u + 5v) = 0


solve for u to get:


u = 2v or u = -5v


divide both sides of these equations by v to get:


u/v = 2 or u/v = -5


i've never done one like this before, but i think that might be your answer.


i did some checking on the original equation and found that the equation is true when you assume these ratios.


from u/v = 2, i re-derived u = 2v.
i then let v = 2 and u = 4 and the original equation became true with those values for u and v.


from u/v= -5, i let v = 10 and u = -50 and the original equation became true with those values for u and v.


consequently, i believe your solution is that u/v = 2 or u/v = -5.
