QuizQ2

The square of the first number is equal to three-fifths of the second number. Determine both numbers if you know that the second number is five times greater than the first, and neither of the numbers is not equal to zero.

Final Answer:

a =  3
b =  15

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a^2=\frac{3}{5}b \\ b=5a \\ {a}^2=3/5\cdot 5a \\ a\ne 0 \\ a=\frac{3}{5}\cdot 5=\frac{3\cdot 5}{5}=\frac{15}{5}=3 \end{gathered}$$

$b=5\cdot a=5\cdot 3=15$
