A box contains an assortment of 100 coloured marbles, coloured red, blue and green. The ratio of blue balls to green balls is 1:3. If there are 16 red balls in the box, what is the ratio of red balls to green balls, and red balls to blue balls?

The student should state that there are x blue balls. From this, they may determine that overall, the number of blue and green balls combined must be 4x, and hence the number of red balls is therefore '10...

Make x the subject of the following formula: 5(3x -2y) = 14 - 2ax

(1) 5(3x - 2y) = 14 -2ax 15x - 10y = 14 - 2ax (2) 15x +2ax -10y = 14 15x + 2ax = 10y + 14
(3) x(15 + 2a) = 10y + 14 x = (10y + 14) / (15 + 2a)
To asking us to make x the subject of a fo...

A is the point (2,-5), B is the point (-1,4). (a) What is the gradient of the line passing through points A and B? (b) Does the point (-100,301) lie on the line passing through points A and B?

(a) let A be (x1,y1) and B be (x2,y2), Gradient = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) m = (4- -5)/(-1-2) = 9/(-3) = -3 Gradient = -3
(b) equation of a straight line line: y = mx + c => y1 = ...

Is AB perpendicular to BC where A =(2,0,-1), B=(4,3,-6) and C = (9,3,-4)

AB = B - A = (4,3,-6)- (2,0,-1) = (2 , 3 , -5)BC = C - B = (9,3,-4) - (4,3,-6) = (5, 0 , 2)
If perpendicular "AB dot BC" should equal zeroAB dot BC = (2,3,-5) dot (5,0,2) = (2x5) + (3x0) + ...
