Chapter 0.4, Problem 5E

To determine

To solve the expression $\frac{3b}{5a+c}$

Answer to Problem 5E

  $-1$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: $a=2,b=-3,c=-1,d=4$

  $\frac{3b}{5a+c}$

Calculation:

Given equation is

  $\frac{3b}{5a+c}$

As given, $a=2$ , $b=-3$ and $c=-1$ .

Hence putting values of a, b and c in the equation-

  $\frac{3\times (-3)}{\left(5\times 2\right)+\left(-1\right)}$

Solving brackets -

  $\frac{-9}{10-1}$

So-

  $\frac{-9}{9}$

Hence the final answer is,

  $-1$
