Question

The product of 'a' and 'b' is 35, if a = - 35, then the value of 'b' is *​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The value of 'b' is -1.

To find :-

• The value of 'b'.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, the product of 'a' and 'b' is given to us. It is also given that the value of 'a' is -35. We have to find the value of 'b'.

It has been given that :-

• The product of 'a' and 'b' is 35.

Which means that :-

• The product of -35 and 'b' is 35.

Therefore :-

$\hookrightarrow\sf a \times b = 35$

Substituting the value of a,

$\hookrightarrow\sf -35 \times b = 35$

Transposing -35 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\hookrightarrow\sf b = \dfrac{\:\:\:\:35}{-35}$

Dividing 35 by -35,

$\hookrightarrow\sf b = -1$

• To check our answer, let's multiply the values of 'a' and 'b' and see whether their product is 35.

Here,

• a = -35.
• b = -1.

Therefore,

$\bf Their \: product = (-35) \times (-1) = 35$

-----------------------------------------

The product of 'a' and 'b' is 35.

Hence verified!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large{\gray{\fbox{\fbox{Given:}}}}$

The product of 'a' and 'b' is 35, if a = - 35, then the value of 'b' is

$\large{\red{\fbox{\fbox{{Solution:}}}}}$

$\blue{Let \: the \: b \: \: is \:'x' }$

$\large{Now,}$

$\pink{ - 35 \times x = 35}$

$\pink{ = > x = 35 \div ( - 35)}$

$\pink{ = > x = 35 \times \frac{ - 1}{35} }$

$\pink{ = > x = (- 1)}$

$\large{\bold{\red{\fbox{\fbox{verification}}}}}$

• To check our answer, let's multiply the values of 'a' and 'b' and see whether their product is 35.

Here,

a= -35

b= -1

So,

$\purple{ - 35 \times ( - 1) = 35}$

$\large{\bold{\red{So,your \: answer \: is -1.}}}$
