If x/4 = y/3 = z/2, then what would be the value of (5x + y – 2z) / 3y
Added by Whitney P.
Step 1
Now, we can write the equations as: x = 4k y = 3k z = 2k Now, we need to find the value of (5x + y - 2z) / 3y. Let's substitute the values of x, y, and z in terms of k: (5(4k) + 3k - 2(2k)) / 3(3k) Now, let's simplify the expression: Show more…
