2x = 5 y
and 15 y =z
find relation between X and Z
Answers
Answer:
A SOLUTION:
Typically we need a system of three equations to solve a system with three variables.
We can use the ratios between x, y, and z to construct additional equations.
First, we separate the three-part proportion into two-part proportions.
x : y : z = 4 : -2 : 5
If we write the ratios that tell us about x, we can use substitution to find x, y, and z.
We can say that
x : y = 4 : -2.
Translate the proportion into a fraction and solve for y.
x/y=4/-2
-2x=4y
y=(-1/2)x
Using similar reasoning, the relationship between x and z is
x : z = 4 : 5
x/z = 4/5
5x = 4z
z = (5/4)x
Now substitute (-1/2)x for y and (5/4)x for z in the equation x + 3y + z = 15.
x + 3((-1/2)x) + ((5/4)x) = 15
x - (3/2)x + (5/4)x = 15
Multiply every term by 4 to clear the denominators.
4x - 6x + 5x = 60
3x = 60
x = 20
Use the proportions to find y and z.
y = (-1/2)x
y = (-1/2)(20)
y = -10
z = (5/4)x
z = (5/4)(20)
z = 25
We have x=20, y=-10, and z=25.
Verify these values in the equation and ratios.
x + 3y + z = 15
(20) + 3(-10) + 25 = 15
20 - 30 + 25 = 15
15 = 15
CHECK!
x : y : z = 4 : -2 : 5
(20) : (-10) : (25) = 4: -2 : 5
Since we can multiply the numbers on the left by a favor of 1/5 to get the corresponding numbers on the right, this proportion is true. CHECK!
